Texas counties will now investigate those potentially ineligible Voters. They will be removed if they are not American citizens.

If they are able to provide proof of citizenship, they can vote, per the release.

If they are deemed non-citizens, they could be investigated by the Office of the Attorney General for violating Texas law.

“Everyone’s right to vote is sacred and must be protected. We encourage counties to conduct rigorous investigations to determine if any voter is ineligible — just as they do with any other data set we provide,” Nelson said.

“The SAVE database has proven to be a critically important data set and one of many that we will continue to use in Texas to ensure that only qualified Voters cast a ballot in our elections,” she added.

Harris County had the largest number of potential non-citizens with 362; Dallas County was second at 277.

Nelson removed 33 Voters from the rolls in June. They were then referred to Texas Attorney General Kan Paxton.

According to a report on Fox News, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) said the state has filtered its voter rolls since 2021.

That is when Senate Bill 1 was signed into law to reform elections.
