So how many would not have been removed from the voter rolls without the new law Abbott is touting? I know from relatives dying that they already went through obituaries and death notices to remove those names.

LOL, so basically they cleaned up the roll from dead people and those who are suspended from voting for some reason.

Basically housekeeping. Out of the millions of illegal immigrant voters y'all are so worried about, they found 6,500.

And I'd bet that the majority of the 6,500 are people who registered to vote while having legal citizenship and their citizenship later ended.

I always wonder if those that are truly worried about illegal immigrants voting actually go and cast votes in general elections. I would love an explanation of how these illegal immigrants are voting without driver's licenses or ID cards. Every time I vote, they take my DL and check in against a roll that is compiled I assume by the DMV. To get my driver's license renewed I had to show proof of citizenship, which for me meant getting a certified copy of my birth certificate.

I just don't think there are that many illegal immigrants going through all that trouble just so they can go cast a vote for Kamala Harris.

Was there any data showing how many of every other category actually had a vote cast?

I see the 1900 of 6500 illegals, but if there is nothing for the two 450,000 buckets then its likely just cleaning up old data that didn't impact anything anyway. But it is proactively fighting against future fraud.

I'll be one of those 134,000 next year, as I recently moved, and tried to use their online system to change my address, and it wouldn't do it, even though I have all my information entered correctly.
Government, that thing we do together.

Without a full audit, how would we know? Remember, the left pushed back insanely hard and went to court to stop a full audit of the ballots.

The only "audits" I saw were those on the counts. Not on the validity of the ballots.

---

I inferred incorrectly. I saw the "voter history" and inferred "2020 voter history". Meaning, if they could verify the 2020 voter data then why not report findings on every other section of the analysis.

My bad...

So the illegals that voted only became non citizens after they renounced their citizenship? Sounds legit

Voter purges disproportionately affect voters of color. While several states are engaging in voter roll purging, the purge rate is significantly higher in jurisdictions previously covered by The Voting Rights Act of 1965. In other words,state and local governments with a history of discrimination are purging voters at higher rates.

Voters eligible to cast ballots are already being swept up in a grassroots effort to purge the nation's registration rolls ahead of the 2024 presidential election, a CBS News investigation has found.
Fueled by doubts about the 2020 election, an army of conservative activists is poring over state voter lists, looking for registration errors that can be used to file what are known as voter challenges questioning the registrations of thousands of Americans....

"It's young voters, it's people of color, and it's people that are unhoused," said Karli Swift, chair of the election board in DeKalb County, Georgia. "Those are generally the types of people that end up in voter challenges."

A half-million immigrants came in through the steel columns on 24" centers this weekend and immediately filed into the County Board of Elections to sign up to vote.

Yeah, so?

I was curious about the "457,000 deceased people" section and was able to find that in 2022 about 250,000 people living in Texas died. Certainly, not all of them would have been registered voters, but that does help provide context to the statistic (Texas has about 18 million registered voters and a population of about 30 million). If the accusation is that Texas doesn't regularly remove dead people from the voter rolls that number really should have been much higher.

That's not what was said. Of those 6,500, 1,630 had a voting history. Some could be people that renounced their citizenship, had voted in previous elections, and there name was never removed from the voter rolls after their citizenship was renounced. And some may be people that illegally voted. But we won't really know until an investigation is done.

Renouncing citizenship doesn't sound like a common thing to me. Any stats you can share?

While there may be a few who have renounced their citizenship, I suspect there are few in that category.

Remember, the copied tweet (how is that for a bulletproof citation? I saw it on Twitter!) says "...over 6,500 potential noncitizens..." This means they were removed from the rolls, not for not being a citizen, but because they had unsubstantiated information that they weren't citizens. I suspect quite a large number of that 6,500 were, in fact, citizens and the State just got it wrong.

Of course, they could check to see how many of that 1 million had been issued a ballot in the past 4 years. They won't, because it would be trivial. Of course, I would also suspect the majority of those who had been issued a ballot in the past 4 years and have had their voting rights suspended have every legal right to vote, same as you or me. Mistakes happen, you know.

One of the biggest hoaxes floated by MAGA, other than the stolen election, is that noncitizens are voting. Truly, there is no benefit for them to do so. One vote means so little and the consequences are dire (deportation) that the the consequence to benefit ratio is so high it makes no sense.

It also makes no sense, if one really believed noncitizens had a way to vote, to threaten mass deportations if you get elected. Talk about turning the consequence to benefit ratio around! Even Trump doesn't believe a significant number of noncitizens are able to vote.

Dems are counting on them not voting and using their votes for submitting fraudulent mail in ballots imo. Maybe not so much in Texas but elsewhere.

Which is what these Get Out The Vote type organizations do.
