Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and other members of the Biden-Harris Administration for refusing to comply with federal law requiring them to assist States in verifying the citizenship status of potentially ineligible people registered to vote. On October 7, Attorney General Paxton sent a letter demanding that the federal government fulfill its legal obligations by verifying the citizenship status of people who may be illegally registered to vote in Texas by October 19. Attached was a list of approximately 450,000 voters whose citizenship status has never been checked because they registered without a State of Texas-issued driver’s license or identification card. Federal law requires the federal government to provide that information and Attorney General Paxton’s letter formally triggered those obligations.”

“While the majority of the voters on the list are likely citizens who are eligible to vote, Texans have no way of knowing whether or not any of the voters on the list are noncitizens who are ineligible to vote without additional information. However, the Biden-Harris Administration has refused to comply with the law and has failed to supply Texas with the required information necessary to secure the integrity of Texas elections. The Texas Secretary of State has joined the Office of the Attorney General as a co-plaintiff,” says Picasso-faced Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in a statement making it clear enough that this frivolous bullshit isn’t about Texas itself but in all likelihood the groundwork for another national “Stop the Steal” effort all centered on non-citizen voting fairy tales.
