Texas Sues Biden Administration For Not Verifying 450K ‘Potentially Ineligible’ Voters’ Citizenship

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Tuesday sued the Biden administration over its alleged failure to provide information that it would need to verify the citizenship of up to 450,000 voters.

The Department of Homeland Security has told states that if they wish to verify the citizenship status of certain voters they can use the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services’ (USCIS) SAVE program. 

Paxton claimed the Biden-Harris administration has not provided answers to “valid requests” for information on over 450,000 people on the state’s voter rolls, who did not use Texas-issued driver’s license or ID card to register to vote in the state.

“The Biden-Harris Administration has refused to comply with federal law, presenting yet another obstacle for Texas to overcome in ensuring free and fair elections in our state,” Paxton said in a statement. “The law demands that they provide important information regarding the citizenship of nearly half a million potentially ineligible voters. Since the Biden-Harris Administration has chosen to ignore the law, I will see them in court.” 

Paxton’s office said he believes the majority on the voter list are lawful citizens that can vote, but that there is no way to confirm whether some on the list are noncitizens without the additional information.

The lawsuit named the Department of Homeland Security, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, USCIS, and USCIS Director Ur Jaddou as defendants.
