Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson has sparked renewed discussions on election integrity following her recent social media post. She revealed that her office had identified over 2,000 “potential noncitizens” registered to vote in Texas by cross-referencing state voter rolls with an immigration database.

Nelson’s announcement, made on the social platform X, stated that her office had flagged 2,724 individuals as “potential noncitizen” voters. This was the result of comparing the Texas voter roll with data from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services’ SAVE database. The post quickly went viral, garnering millions of views, coinciding with the start of early voting in Texas and several other states.
