(FamilyConservationPAC.com)—The Texas attorney general has announced an investigation into reports of illegal voter registration by noncitizens.
“Texans are deeply troubled by the possibility that organizations purporting to assist with voter registration are illegally registering noncitizens to vote in our elections,” said Attorney General Ken Paxton in a statement Wednesday.
“My office is investigating every credible report we receive regarding potential criminal activity that could compromise the integrity of our elections,” he added.

Paxton criticized the Biden-Harris administration for failing to secure the border.
“The Biden-Harris Administration has intentionally flooded our country with illegal aliens, and without proper safeguards, foreign nationals can illegally influence elections at the local, state, and national level,” he claimed.
Paxton may have been referring to a report by Maria Bartiromo of Fox News, which claimed that immigrants were lining up outside DMV offices to register to vote at tables and tents outside the offices.
She did not say they were undocumented immigrants, but many on social media took that to be her meaning.
The attorney general mentioned the booths outside government offices in his statement.
“If eligible citizens can legally register to vote when conducting their business at a DPS office, why would they need a second opportunity to register with a booth outside?” he asked rhetorically.
A spokesperson for the Texas Department of Public Safety stated to the Star-Telegram that the claims were “simply false.”
“Contrary to Bartiromo’s friend’s wife’s account, there is no office for the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles in Weatherford. Folks there get their licenses at a DPS Driver License office,” said Sgt. William Lockridge.
“None of it is true,” he added. He went on to say the report was “kind of racist” because he reasoned that “Just because these people aren’t white, that doesn’t mean they’re illegal.”
In May, Paxton filed a lawsuit against an organization for allegedly engaging in “human smuggling” by shielding illegal aliens from law enforcement agencies. The group denied the accusations and said his claims were “illegal, immoral and anti-faith.”
A coalition of 24 states, including Texas, submitted a brief to the U.S. Supreme Court urging protection of elections from noncitizens voting. They supported an Arizona law requiring voters to provide proof of citizenship.
“It is a crime to vote—or to register to vote—if you are not a United States Citizen. Any wrongdoing will be punished to the fullest extent of the law,” Paxton concluded in his statement.
Should organizations caught registering illegals to vote be prosecuted?
