Texas Republicans Press Biden-Harris Admin Over ‘Turning A Blind Eye’ To Non-Citizen Voters
SUMMARY
Texas Republicans, led by Reps. Randy Weber and Chip Roy, are turning up the heat on the Biden-Harris administration for its alleged inaction in preventing non-citizen voter registration. In a letter to USCIS Director Ur Jaddou, the GOP delegation demanded that the administration comply with Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson’s request for citizenship data to verify voter rolls. This comes after Gov. Greg Abbott purged 6,500 potential non-citizens from Texas voter rolls in August. Roy emphasized the need for “diligence and transparency” to protect public confidence in elections, while Weber accused the administration of turning “a blind eye” to non-citizen voting concerns. The Biden-Harris administration has faced criticism for withholding information crucial to states like Texas, with similar clashes occurring in Alabama and Florida. Texas Republicans are pushing for the release of data to ensure clean elections ahead of the 2024 cycle.
