Texas AG Ken Paxton Files Suit Against Biden-Harris Over Voter Roll Dispute

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has sued the Biden-Harris Administration for allegedly failing to assist Texas in verifying the citizenship status of nearly 450,000 voters. Paxton claims that the administration’s refusal to provide this verification violates federal law, which requires the government to help states confirm the eligibility of voters.

Paxton’s office had sent a formal letter on October 7, asking for the citizenship status of voters who registered without providing Texas-issued identification. This step is intended to ensure that noncitizens do not illegally participate in elections.

However, the federal government has reportedly failed to meet its obligations, prompting Paxton to take legal action. The lawsuit argues that verifying the citizenship of these voters is essential for maintaining election integrity in Texas.

Paxton criticized the Biden-Harris Administration’s refusal, stating, “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.”

The Texas Secretary of State has joined the lawsuit as a co-plaintiff.
