Texas announces over 1M ineligible voters removed from voting rolls since last presidential election
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced this week that over 1 million individuals have been removed from state voting rolls since 2021.
The largest group of Texas residents disqualified in the audit was "voters on the suspense list" – people who have failed to properly confirm their residential address in the state. More than 463,000 individuals were included in this category.
The second-most prominent category was "deceased people" still included on the voting rolls, which numbered more than 457,000.
The governor's office said approximately 6,500 noncitizens were purged from the rolls, and almost 2,000 of those noncitizens are alleged to have cast votes in past elections.
