Texas PURGES one million ineligible voters from voter rolls, including non-citizens and dead people
By Kevin Hughes // Aug 30, 2024

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott declared on Monday, Aug. 26, that more than one million ineligible voters have been taken out from the state's voter rolls in the past three years, including more than 6,500 noncitizens and 457,000 people who are dead.

Of the 6,500 probable noncitizens deleted from the voter rolls, about 1,930 have a voter history. Abbott said those records were handed over to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton for investigation and probable legal action. (Related: Texas AG announces major election fraud raids after organization accused of registering noncitizens to vote.)

The voter roll cleanup began in 2021 when Abbott signed Senate Bill 1, aimed to support election integrity and security.

"Election integrity is essential to our democracy. I have signed the strongest election laws in the nation to protect the right to vote and to crack down on illegal voting," Abbott said in a statement.

Others taken out from Texas' voter rolls include 6,000 felons, 19,000 voters who requested to cancel their voter registrations, 65,000 who failed to respond to a notice of examination, 463,000 people on the suspense list – people whose addresses could not be verified – and 134,000 people who responded to an address confirmation notice that they had moved.

Other states have recently purged voter rolls in efforts that also expunged noncitizens. Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin earlier in August announced that he had removed 6,303 noncitizens from voter rolls. In Alabama, the state removed at least 3,251 noncitizens, and Ohio removed 137.

Texas claims voter roll purge part of effort to safeguard the right to vote

In Texas, Abbott said the voter roll maintenance is ongoing and that the state will "actively safeguard Texans' sacred right to vote" while also vigorously protecting election integrity.

Texas Senate Bill 1 was a comprehensive election law passed after the 2020 presidential election. It outlawed drive-through and overnight voting, extended poll watcher access inside precincts and made it a crime for local officials to mass-deliver applications for mail-in ballots.

Lying while registering to vote was raised to a crime and ballot harvesting was criminalized. Identification was needed for mail-in ballots.

Also in 2021, Abbott signed Senate Bill 1113, which authorized the secretary of state to deny funds from counties that fail to remove noncitizens from voter rolls, and House Bill 574, which made it a second-degree crime to intentionally count invalid votes or refuse to count valid ones. In 2023, Abbott signed House Bill 1243, which elevated illegal voting – along with voting by noncitizens – to a second-degree crime.

Despite Abbott's claim that the voters were purged as part of efforts to protect election integrity, voting advocates noticed that most of the names were purged as part of routine voter maintenance procedures, and that Senate Bill 1 just served to set up obstacles for Texans to vote.

"Governor Abbott's announcement lacks transparency and doesn't paint the full picture of routine voter roll maintenance," stated Sarah Xiyi Chen of the Texas Civil Rights Project. "Year after year, people are taken off the voting rolls for all manner of innocuous reasons, and while Senate Bill 1 did enact stricter barriers for registering to vote, there is no evidence to suggest that the governor's data can be attributed to the law."
