“Texans are deeply troubled by the possibility that organizations purporting to assist with voter registration are illegally registering noncitizens to vote in our elections,” Ken Paxton said.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) announced Wednesday that his office has launched an investigation into organizations allegedly registering non-citizens to vote.

The AG’s Election Integrity Unit found that multiple nonprofit organizations have opened booths outside Texas Department of Public Safety Driver License offices to assist with voter registration. U.S. citizens have the opportunity to register to vote at the offices when they are being issued or renewing their driverโ€™s license or identification card.

“Texans are deeply troubled by the possibility that organizations purporting to assist with voter registration are illegally registering noncitizens to vote in our elections,” Paxton said in a 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? My office is investigating every credible report we receive regarding potential criminal activity that could compromise the integrity of our elections.”

“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. It is a crime to voteโ€”or to register to voteโ€”if you are not a United States Citizen,” he continued. “Any wrongdoing will be punished to the fullest extent of the law.”

In Texas, non-citizens and people who are not residents of the state can face up to a $10,000 fine and a 20-year prison sentence for voting, as well as anyone who helps them vote. Lying about citizenship status or helping someone do so is also a crime punishable for up to two years in a state jail and up to a $10,000 fine.
