AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Officials with the Texas secretary of state’s office began calling county election chiefs Tuesday to warn about problems with its recent report questioning the citizenship of tens of thousands of registered voters, the latest example of a state backpedaling after raising alarms about potential widespread election fraud.

Local officials told The Associated Press that they received calls from Texas Secretary of State David Whitley’s office indicating that some citizens had been included in the original data announced Friday. The state had used a database of drivers’ licenses and personal IDs to suggest that as many as 95,000 non-U.S. citizens may be on the state’s voter rolls and that as many as 58,000 may have cast a ballot at least once since 1996.

“We received a call from the state saying we should put things on hold,” said Dallas County Elections Administrator Toni Pippins-Poole. “Some of the data that they received was flawed. Some of the voters had already provided proof of citizenship.”

Whitley released a new statement Tuesday that didn’t provide any revised estimate of voters whose citizenship remains in question. It also doesn’t acknowledge any errors with the initial count, after his office Friday had expressed high confidence in the data that was used.

1. The people on the list should file a class action lawsuit against both the state and

the officials and if its found they knew the information was wrong and still did it the state officials should be criminally charged.

4. Reminds me of Dornan's false claims of voter fraud when he was unseated.

http://articles.latimes.com/1997-03-07/news/mn-35648_1_voter-fraud

Former Rep. Robert K. Dornan, who is seeking to overturn his congressional defeat by claiming voter fraud, alleges that as many as 700 votes in last year's election are "suspect" because they were cast by large groups of voters who share common addresses.

But a review of the allegation turned up a large number of registered voters, including U.S. Marines, nuns, senior citizens and even some Dornan supporters.

~~~

Times reporters interviewed residents at 60 of the addresses listed by Dornan as suspicious. In each case, the residents confirmed there were multiple registered voters living at the locations and The Times found no evidence of illegal or nonexistent voters at any of them. In a handful of cases, residents said there were more registered voters in the household than Dornan included in his list.

Most of the locations on Dornan's list with 10 or more voters each were apartment complexes, mobile home parks, convalescent homes and the Marine Corps Air Station in Tustin.

6. OFFS they knew exactly what they were doing

Purposely putting out a pile of bullshit misinformation in order to promote FUD in the whole election process and get Faux Snooze coverage as well as WH tweets about it.

It was a textbook example of FAKE NEWS and propaganda.
