NEW: Thousands Of Illegal Migrants Registered To Vote In Critical Red State

Over 2,700 illegal aliens have infiltrated Texas voter rolls, according to Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson. Nelson revealed that after running the 18 million registered voters in the Lone Star State through the federal SAVE database, officials discovered 2,724 potential non-citizens listed as voters.

Nelson said in a statement posted on her website, “Only eligible United States citizens may participate in our elections.”

“The Trump Administration’s decision to give states free and direct access to this data set for the first time has been a game changer, and we appreciate the partnership with the federal government to verify the citizenship of those on our voter rolls and maintain accurate voter lists,” she added.

Nelson revealed that the next step is for counties in the state to launch an investigation into potential ineligible voters and remove them from the roll if they are not American citizens. Those who are able to provide proof of their citizenship are allowed to continue participating in Texas elections.

Illegals who voted in violation of Texas law could be investigated by the Office of the Attorney General.

“Everyone’s right to vote is sacred and must be protected. We encourage counties to conduct rigorous investigations to determine if any voter is ineligible — just as they do with any other data set we provide,” Nelson continued.

Harris County, home to the city of Houston, had the largest number of possible non-citizens, at 362, followed by Dallas County with 277.

In June, Nelson booted a total of 33 non-citizens from voter rolls. These individuals were then referred to the Texas Attorney General’s Office.

Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, stated that since 2021, when Senate Bill 1 was officially signed into law in order to reform the state’s elections, they have narrowed down voter rolls.

“These reforms have led to the removal of over one million ineligible people from our voter rolls in the last three years, including noncitizens, deceased voters, and people who moved to another state,” Abbott explained.

“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,” the governor said. “We will continue to actively safeguard Texans’ sacred right to vote while also aggressively protecting our elections from illegal voting.”

Abbott stated that due to Texas’s efforts to secure and protect its elections, it is “leading the nation in election integrity.”
