Texas counties look into 'potential noncitizens' on voter rolls. Here's what they're finding. [View all]

Election officials across Texas are investigating the eligibility of 2,724 registered voters flagged as “potential noncitizens” after the Secretary of State’s Office checked the state’s voter rolls against a federal database used to verify citizenship.

The inquiries are still in the early stages, and county officials have not yet confirmed the citizenship status of the vast majority of the flagged voters.

But at least six people listed as potential noncitizens have confirmed that they are, in fact, U.S. citizens, election officials told Votebeat: four in Denton County, and one each in Bexar and Brazoria counties.

Votebeat has so far contacted 24 counties, including the state’s most populous, seeking details about the flagged voter registrations, and has gotten responses from nine counties.
