Latino civil rights group sues Texas officials over flagging potential noncitizens on voter rollsOldest Latino civil rights group in US has filed lawsuit against Texas after state officials' comments about potential non-citizens that may be on the state's voter rolls; claim state’s plan amounts to voter intimidation. No, it's not designed to intimidate anybody. It's designed to purge the rolls of illegitimate voters. Every state needs to do this. No it’s about illegal voting. You can even say liberals collude with illegals to win elections. It better stop or we need to start sending FBI agents in the early morning hours and arrest these colluders... That doesnt even make sense. Voter fraud by foreign nationals disenfranchises citizens. California needs to run a voter audit too.
