Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is examining over 100 possible noncitizens who may have illegally voted in the 2020 adn 2022 elections, primarily in Harris County and other Texas counties. This inquiry follows earlier probes into 33 potential noncitizen voters in the 2024 election, identified using the federal SAVE system that verifies citizenship status.<\/p>\n<p>The piece highlights multiple examples of noncitizen voting incidents across various states, including michigan, Iowa, Oregon, and Arizona, demonstrating that illegal voting by noncitizens is not rare. It also mentions a senate Judiciary Committee investigation into allegations of the Chinese Communist party using fake U.S. driver&#8217;s licenses to rig the 2020 election.<\/p>\n<p>The author argues that the solution is straightforward: implementing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/texas-house-directs-law-enforcement-to-arrest-if-necessary-rogue-democratic-lawmakers\/\" title=\"... House Directs Law Enforcement To \u2018Arrest, If Necessary,\u2019 Rogue Democratic Lawmakers\">mandatory voter identification<\/a> and proof of citizenship at registration and voting. The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which passed the House but is stalled in the Senate, would require such verification. The article emphasizes the need for bipartisan support to prevent ongoing election vulnerabilities and ensure future election integrity.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Welcome to 2025, where we are still uncovering election fraud from the 2020 and 2022 elections. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is investigating more than 100 possible noncitizens who may have voted in both the 2020 and 2022 elections, casting more than 200 ballots.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, most of the suspected illegal ballots were cast in Harris County. Paxton is also investigating in Guadalupe, Cameron, and Eastland counties, based on information from the Texas Secretary of State.<\/p>\n<p>Add the possible 100 fraudulent voters announced this week to the 33 potential noncitizens who may have voted illegally in 2024. Paxton started investigating <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/06\/06\/33-potential-noncitizens-referred-for-investigation-after-voting-in-texas-2024-elections\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">those 33 voters<\/a> in June after the Texas secretary of state made a referral, based on information found in the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service&rsquo;s (USCIS) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uscis.gov\/save\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SAVE<\/a> database, showing they voted in the 2024 general election.<\/p>\n<p>Some 1,200 federal agencies use SAVE to verify U.S. citizenship or determine current immigration. For example, when an applicant applies for a Social Security Number, a drivers license, or for public housing assistance, the agency will check SAVE to see if they are a citizen. Legally, noncitizens are not allowed to vote in U.S. elections.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Illegal aliens and foreign nationals must not be allowed to influence Texas elections by casting illegal ballots with impunity. I will not allow it to continue,&rdquo; Paxton said in a statement. &ldquo;Thanks to President Trump&rsquo;s decisive action to help states safeguard the ballot box, this investigation will help Texas hold noncitizens accountable for unlawfully voting in American elections. If you&rsquo;re a noncitizen who illegally cast a ballot, you will face the full force of the law.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>No one can realistically say fraudulent, noncitizen voting <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/09\/04\/biden-admin-dismisses-noncitizen-voting-because-its-already-illegal-just-like-shoplifting-and-drunk-driving\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">doesn&rsquo;t happen<\/a>. There are too many examples to ignore.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes it is a single incident with one voter, like the Chinese student living in <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/04\/28\/chinese-national-who-allegedly-voted-in-michigan-skips-court-faces-arrest\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Michigan<\/a> who was improperly registered to vote and is charged with voting the November election.<\/p>\n<p>Other times, it is a group of voters, like when Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson found 15 likely noncitizens across the state voted in November&rsquo;s election, <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/04\/04\/michigan-secretary-of-state-discovers-15-possible-noncitizen-voters-insists-its-no-big-deal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">but she said<\/a> illegal activity is &ldquo;very rare.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>So rare, that <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/03\/21\/the-left-says-it-doesnt-happen-but-noncitizens-voted-in-iowas-election\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">an audits of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/report-255000-excess-votes-for-biden-in-key-2020-states\/\" title=\"Report: 255,000 Excess Votes for Biden in Key 2020 ...s\">voter registration rolls<\/a><\/a> in Iowa found 277 noncitizens registered to vote or actually voted in the 2024 election. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In Oregon, the elections director quit after officials discovered more than 300 noncitizens had been registered to vote, and the state&rsquo;s Department of Motor Vehicles processed more than 54,600 voter registrations, 2021-2024, with an <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/12\/19\/oregon-elections-director-resigns-months-after-hundreds-of-noncitizens-found-registered-to-vote\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">unknown citizenship<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Just last month, the Senate Judiciary Committee <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/06\/17\/judiciary-investigates-trashed-fbi-report-alleging-ccp-plot-to-use-fake-u-s-drivers-licenses-to-rig-2020-election\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">announced it is investigating<\/a> newly declassified FBI documents alleging that in 2020 the Chinese Communist Party was making thousands of fake U.S. driver&rsquo;s licenses to use to validate fake mail-in ballots. The investigation is ongoing, but we can already see it is a huge scandal.

Mandatory voter identification at voter registration and when voting. The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.govtrack.us\/congress\/bills\/119\/hr22\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SAVE<\/a>) Act would keep noncitizens from voting by requiring proof of citizenship when registering to vote. It passed in the House in April and still has not moved in the Senate. It should be a bipartisan issue, but Democrats have claimed that providing identification is a burden that disenfranchises voters.<\/p>\n<p>It is good officials are still digging into how the 2020 election went off the rails, so we understand the weak spots. But it is past time to shore up the election process with simple fixes like the SAVE Act, so in 2030 we are not still trying to figure out what happened in 2028.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>      Beth Brelje is an elections correspondent for The Federalist.
