Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced the state removed over one million ineligible voters from the voter rolls since 2021.
The number includes over 500,000 dead people and 6,500 illegal aliens.
“Election integrity is essential to our democracy,” stated Abbott. “I have signed the strongest election laws in the nation to protect the right to vote and to crackdown on illegal voting. 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. 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. We will continue to actively safeguard Texans’ sacred right to vote while also aggressively protecting our elections from illegal voting.”
Senate Bill 1 strengthened Texas voting rules to deter voter fraud.
The bill included “uniform statewide voting hours, maintains and expands voting access for registered voters that need assistance, prohibits drive-through voting, and enhances transparency by authorizing poll watchers to observe more aspects of the election process.”
People cannot give out “unsolicited applications for mail-in ballots.”
Voters also have the opportunity to fix any defect on their mail-in ballot.
Abbott also highlighted the following bills:
- House Bill 1243 makes illegal voting a second-degree felony.
- Senate Bill 113 allows the state to deny funds from any county that does not remove noncitizens from the voter rolls.
- House Bill 574 made it a crime to knowingly count invalid votes.
The New York Post‘s Miranda Devine made an excellent point: What is happening in swing states?
The Democrats have pushed Wisconsin to remove Green Party candidate Jill Stein from the ballot.
The Democrats got Cornel West removed from the Michigan ballot but a judge overruled the decision, saying West is eligible.
Half a million dead people and 6500 illegal aliens. If this is Texas, what’s going on in Democrat-led swing states like Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, and North Carolina? https://t.co/71omOCwqHa

Impressive numbers. Does anyone know what is the ‘suspense list?’ That’s almost half the total, and it’s the one I don’t really know what they mean. Thanks.
I may be completely wrong here, but I *think* it’s a count of temporarily ineligible voters. I’m thinking along the lines of a person who has been convicted of a felony (which would remove their right to vote) but has not been sentenced yet (thereby keeping them in “suspense”).
But that’s just my thinking on it. No one at my firm practices constitutional law so I didn’t really have anyone to ask.
I believe it to be folks who were registered but went inactive by not casting a ballot over several election cycles and/or didn’t respond to the mailers sent out by the County for registered voters to basically ID themselves as still alive and still residing at that physical residential address.
Probably about 3x that number on the suspension list than removed. You can still vote but gotta show current ID with that particular address to do so and they move the voter back to the active list. After a certain timeframe of zero activity, no ballot cast/no response to mailer they move you off the voter registration list. At least that’s my understanding.
I love drive-through voting. “Give me a double talking Harris with a side of large lies.”
Democrats: “But vote fraud DOeSN’t HAppEn!!
The overwhelming majority of those removed were not voting anyway (and no one was voting in their names), so no fraud was prevented by removing them. Nearly half who came from the “suspension list”, and if that means what I think it means then by definition none of those people was recorded as having voted in the last few elections, which means their names were not being used for fraud.
The overwhelming majority of those removed were not voting anyway (and no one was voting in their names)

But those facts speak for themselves. Neither they nor anyone else using their name voted.
Surprised that the Harris and the democrat party leadership aren’t howling in outrage over the 1.1 million people that Abbott and the state of Texas has disenfranchised yet.
But the sad thing is that most, if not all, state’s voter rolls are in such a mess with thousands if not millions of ineligible voters still listed as being eligible to vote. And until that situation is corrected, there’s not much hope of having an honest election.
So they could have potentially mailed out 500,000 ballots to deceased names, that were received by surviving family members who then were able to vote twice??
What could have gone wrong there??
Per the article below, there are currently about 2.1 million people on the suspended list.
We generally tend to call our “Mail In” Ballots Absentee Ballots.. Mail In ballots must be applied for with the County Elections Office, filing an application and stating the legal reason the voter may vote “Absentee”. The legally valid reasons are:
You will be absent from the County/State for the period of Early Voting and Election Day; or,
You are suffering from an illness/disability which will temporarily or permanently prevent you getting* to a polling place; or,
You are expected to give birth within three weeks of Election Day; or
You are in jail but otherwise eligible to vote**; or
You are age 65 or older.
While I personally refuse to use that last reason, which I’ve been eligible to use for over 20 years, it’s been my experience as an election worker/Judge that most of our senior citizens get to the polling place.
* If a disabled person so wishes and has someone to get them to the polling place, we have a mobile voting machine which we can take, with a ballot, to the vehicle outside the polling place so the disabled person can vote in person.
** A person serving a sentence for a misdemeanor is still eligible to vote.
There isn’t much that can go wrong with this system. Nursing homes are a problem area which has had watchful eyes for quite a few years.
But this afternoon I’m math impaired. I’m not over 85, I am well over 75.
Bonus: The most common cause is people moving and not updating their voter registration. Apartment dwellers are the worst offenders on this.
So, what happens is that mail in ballots, in vast numbers, get sent to apartments that now have new tenants and anyone can fill them out, forge a signature (no one ever checks the signatures and everyone knows this) and mail them back in.
No. First someone has to apply for a ballot to be sent to that address.
Only if those people applied for a ballot. No one gets a ballot without having applied for it.
From Dallas Morning News:
“”What is the voter suspense list?
Suspense means your county does not know your address or thinks you moved, often because a voter registration card or jury summons sent through mail is returned as undeliverable.
New voter registration cards are mailed every two years to the most recent address on record. If you do not receive a new yellow and white certification card this year, it could mean you moved without updating your address.””
Exactly. These people can still vote if they come to the polls. They can validate their address (didn’t get the card and didn’t ask about it), provide a change of address if still in the county or vote a Provisional Ballot if necessary.
Voting died 104 years ago today, RIP.

good going texas!!!
now look for the dems to sue over that !!
I think that would be difficult. Who are they going to insist be restored to the roll? Many sorts of those people who have been removed can’t be injured by the act (e.g. the dead and those who have moved out of state) so, for those individuals, no claim can be made upon which relief might be granted.
What usually happens is they look for someone who shouldn’t have been removed, and was removed because someone was being sloppy. Then they sue.
Sometimes it’s the Dems who are “sloppy” on purpose, and deliberately remove eligible voters, in order to create a lawsuit that can get the entire cleanup reversed, thus leaving many names on the roll that can be used for fraudulent voting.
500,000 new Democrat registrations in Illinois.
Unbelievable.
Annual clean-ups of state voter rolls should be federal law, but, of course the vile Dhimmi-crat apparatchiks continually do everything in their power to oppose common sense election integrity and ballot security measures/proposals; the better to leave gaping holes in the process which can be exploited by their legions of election fraud hustlers who are well-seasoned in ballot-casting and tabulation machinations and chicanery.
Separate jurisdictions.
The States run elections. Feds really have no authority on issues like this.
Not that I disagree with you that your suggestion would be good policy…
Congress does have authority over congressional elections. Federal law overrides state law on everything except the location of senate polling places.
Alternate headline: “Ted Cruz wins re-election as US Senator for TX”
No, it doesn’t. It includes “over 6,500 aliens”; there is no indication of how many of those, if any, were illegal.
But, if they were non-citizens, and registered to vote . . .
Yes…. Where were you going with that?
That they were illegally registered does not make them illegal aliens.
Perhaps a little too much humor, if you are an alien, and you break the law . . .
You mistake Milhouse for ‘a thinker’.
No one has ever mistaken Azathoth for a truth-teller, or for a decent person.
If you are a legal alien and you break the law, you are an alien lawbreaker. You are not an illegal alien.
No chance Texas only had 6,500 illegal alien voters on its voter rolls. The scale of illegal voting in Texas is far larger than that.
Again, there is nothing to indicate that any of the 6,500 were illegal aliens.
The scale of illegal voting in Texas is far larger than that.
How do you know? How can anyone know? There may be tens of thousands of illegal aliens voting in Texas, or there may be none at all. There is no evidence in either direction. “None at all” seems unlikely, but without evidence it’s possible.
