Texas officials have turned over the state’s voter roll to the U.S. Justice Department, according to a spokesperson for the Texas Secretary of State’s Office, complying with the Trump administration’s demands for access to data on millions of voters across the country.
The Justice Department last fall began asking all 50 states for their voter rolls — massive lists containing significant identifying information on every registered voter in each state — and other election-related data. The Justice Department has said the effort is central to its mission of enforcing election law requiring states to regularly maintain voter lists by searching for and removing ineligible voters.
Alicia Pierce, a spokesperson for the Texas Secretary of State’s Office, told Votebeat and The Texas Tribune that the state had sent its voter roll, which includes information on the approximately 18.4 million voters registered in Texas, to the Justice Department on Dec. 23.
The state included identifiable information about voters, including dates of birth, driver’s license numbers and the last four digits of their Social Security numbers, Pierce said.
Does it include who someone voted for.
It shouldn’t.
The only thing that will be there is what party one is affiliated with.
Who you actually vote for?
That is stil secret, though I’m not in Texas (thank God…) but I make it VERY plain that I vote almost exclusively against the party I am registered with.
I am registered as a Republican. It’s a fantastic way to get their party propaganda and the inside info on their candidates at the state level… who actually offer ZERO to the public.
I’ve been voting straight Democratic ticket for years.
I imagine that the leverage point will be to try and invalidate voters such as myself, who do NOT pose a target as determined by party affiliation, but will skew the votes away from the expected tally, thus allowing the GOP to cry that there is voter fraud.
(Yo, morons… there’s no fraud. Your candidates just suck so much I choose the opposition instead…)
The MAGA wonks expect everyone that calls themself a Republican is intersted in sucking Trump’s cock, because they all do.
It’s disgusting how well they seem to like the taste of a kiddy-fucker’s dick.
Lest we forget, there’s the Epstein files to consider.
Doesn’t matter, scotus already said they can fuck with whoever they want based on racial profiling, so, I bet they’re gonna harass anyone they feel like from the list with a Hispanic sounding name.
No, but the addresses are there. They can just exise the blue districts if they want. State is already threatening to take over Harris county elections for just this reason.
