Texas Cleaning up Voter Rolls

Governor Abbott Announces Over 1 Million Ineligible Voters Removed From Voter Rolls

Governor Greg Abbott today announced that since signing Senate Bill 1 into law in 2021, Texas has removed over one million people from the state’s voter rolls, including people who moved out-of-state, are deceased, and are non-citizens. That removal process has been, and will continue to be, ongoing.

“Election integrity is essential to our democracy,” said Governor Abbott. “I have signed the strongest election laws in the nation to protect the right to vote and to crackdown on illegal voting. These reforms have led to the removal of over one million ineligible people from our voter rolls in the last three years, including non-citizens, deceased voters, and people who moved to another state.

The Secretary of State and county voter registrars have an ongoing legal requirement to review the voter rolls, remove ineligible voters, and refer any potential illegal voting to the Attorney General’s Office and local authorities for investigation and prosecution.

Illegal voting in Texas will never be tolerated. We will continue to actively safeguard Texans’ sacred right to vote while also aggressively protecting our elections from illegal voting.”

Since Governor Abbott signed Senate Bill 1 into law in 2021, Texas has removed over 1 million people from the voter rolls.

I'm wondering how purging the deceased and folks who have moved out of state from voter rolls helps "save our democracy." I think it's a great idea to clean up voter rolls but maybe you could explain to me how that translates into "saving our democracy." I really am curious as to how you see it. Thanks.

People getting mail-in ballots in their names and voting perhaps.

Let me explain 3:13. When a person dies, they can still request a mail in ballot and then a live person fills it in. Same with a person who moves. Let's say a person moves from Texas to Indiana. After voting in Indiana, they can then drive back to Texas and vote again. This happens again and again for Democrats. Never Republicans. That why Dems win all the time. Everybody knows it except you, obviously!
