Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced on Aug. 21 that his office has opened an investigation to determine if organizations operating in the state may be unlawfully registering noncitizens to vote in violation of state and federal law.
Investigators from the Attorney General’s Election Integrity Unit recently conducted undercover operations to identify potential voter registration of noncitizens in Texas. The investigators found various nonprofit organizations, located outside state Department of Public Safety driver’s license offices, were operating booths and offering assistance with voter registrations to individuals doing business at the offices, according to a press release from Paxton’s office.
