US EditionTexas identifies more than 2,700 “potential noncitizens” registered to vote
Texas flagged 2,724 potential noncitizen voters using the federal SAVE program, with Harris County having the highest number at 362, prompting a 30-day verification process.
- On Monday, the Texas Secretary of State's office identified 2,724 individuals on voter rolls who may not be U.S. citizens after a SAVE cross-check with USCIS data.
- The Department of Homeland Security expanded SAVE to verify immigration status nationwide, and the Trump Administration enabled access to the SAVE dataset, Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson said.
- Across all 254 Texas counties, the review found Harris County had 362 flagged registrations, Dallas County 277, Bexar County 201 and El Paso County 165, with county election officials sending verification notices this week.
- Verification failures can lead to temporary cancellation of registrations as individuals unable to prove U.S. citizenship may be removed, while the SAVE cross-check risks misclassifying naturalized citizens and raising privacy concerns.
- Privacy advocates and legal experts warned the effort to use immigration data has prompted legal challenges linked to past Trump Administration attempts, while New America's Open Technology Institute argued it expands surveillance under voter verification.
