VOTER FRAUD ALERT: The @TXsecofstate discovered approx 95,000 individuals identified by DPS as non-U.S. citizens have a matching voter registration record in TX, approx 58,000 of whom have voted in TX elections. Any illegal vote deprives Americans of their voice.

But no voter fraud. This is over multiple years but obviously it shows the problem.
AUSTIN, Texas (KWTX) A yearlong investigation involving the Texas Department of Public Safety revealed that 95,000 non-citizens are registered to vote in the state and that 58,000 of them have voted in one or more elections, Secretary of State David Whitley announced Friday.
Whitley’s office oversees elections in the state.
“Integrity and efficiency of elections in Texas require accuracy of our state’s voter rolls, and my office is committed to using all available tools under the law to maintain an accurate list of registered voters,” he said in a press release.
“Our agency has provided extensive training opportunities to county voter registrars so that they can properly perform list maintenance activities in accordance with federal and state law, which affords every registered voter the chance to submit proof of eligibility.”
The data from the investigation was forwarded to the Texas Attorney General’s Office, he said.
“My Election Fraud Unit stands ready to investigate and prosecute crimes against the democratic process when needed,” Attorney General Ken Paxton said.
