On October 22nd (Reuters) – Exciting news from Texas! Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton has taken legal action against President Joe Biden’s Democratic administration, claiming that the federal government is falling short in assisting with the evaluation of citizenship status for certain registered voters.
In an exhilarating turn of events, a lawsuit has been launched in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas! This legal action targets the Biden administration, particularly calling out the Department of Homeland Security. The accusation? They are allegedly not cooperating in efforts to verify the citizenship status of a staggering 450,000 individuals among the 17.9 million registered voters in Texas! What a dramatic development!
Did you know that noncitizens are already prohibited from voting in U.S. federal elections? Plus, investigations at both the state and private levels have revealed only a handful of cases where this has happened! Yet, Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump and his supporters are claiming that a significant number of noncitizens might cast their ballots in the upcoming Nov. 5 election against Democrat Kamala Harris. How intriguing!
The Department of Homeland Security hasn’t yet replied to our request for their thoughts!
Trump has enthusiastically asserted that his defeat to Biden in 2020 was due to massive voter fraud, despite this claim being untrue!
Paxton’s team announced that he reached out to the U.S. government earlier this month, requesting verification of the citizenship status of individuals who might be improperly registered to vote in Texas by October 19! When he didn’t receive a response to his inquiry, he took action and filed a lawsuit! How thrilling is that?
His office announced that close to 500,000 voters still have their citizenship status unverified! However, they also recognized that most of these individuals are probably citizens and, as a result, eligible to participate in the election! How thrilling is that?
Although most people on the voter list are probably eligible citizens, Texans can’t be sure if any non-citizens who shouldn’t be voting are included without more details! his office exclaimed.
