Bu-bu-but THERE'S NO VOTER FRAUD!!! Ask ANY FRAUDOCRAT...
Texas says it found 95,000 non-citizens on voter rolls; 58,000 have voted
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced Friday that the state has discovered 95,000 non-citizens on the voter rolls going back to 1996, 58,000 of whom have voted in at least one Texas election -- an announcement likely to raise fresh concerns about the prospect of voter fraud.
The revelation is likely to have national consequences and stir debate and the role of voter fraud. President Trump created a commission in 2017 to investigate allegations of voter fraud in the 2016 election. But it was eventually dismantled by Trump after the group faced lawsuits, opposition from states and in-fighting among its members. Trump said at the time that Democrats refused to hand over data “because they know that many people are voting illegally.” Democrats have dismissed claims of voter fraud and accused Republicans of trying to disenfranchise minority voters with tight voter ID laws.

The only person of any import politically speaking that I have ever seen make the claim there is "no voter fraud" was Republican Collin Powell.
I certainly have never said there is "no" voter fraud and or election fraud.
This article about the Texas voter rolls is likely to go down the same way such reports have coming out of other states.
Names get flagged in the thousands, the OMG report comes out, then when the folks get down to the nitty gritty parsing and cross matching and verifying suddenly the OMG numbers drop and drop and drop to where the final reality doesn't match the original OMG reporting.
It will be fun to watch how this plays out.
As it is there is yet to be one name out of the 95,000 total mentioned that was tied to and representing a real illegal alien vote.
Let's wait and see how much of this is puffery.
From the NYTimes story referred to in the Fox article:
"But Democrats and voting rights advocates were skeptical of the state’s claims. More than 8.3 million people voted in the Texas governor’s race last year, which means that even if all 58,000 people who voted were, in fact, found to be noncitizens and voted in 2018 — a claim that no state official has made — they would have amounted to only 0.69 percent of all votes that were cast.
“Because we have consistently seen Texas politicians conjure the specter of voter fraud as pretext to suppress legitimate votes, we are naturally skeptical,” Representative Rafael Anchia, a Democrat in the Texas House of Representatives, said in a statement.
Kristen Clarke, the president of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, also cautioned that the state’s findings, and the speed with which the attorney general raised the specter of prosecution, could foreshadow an attempt at voter suppression.
“Texas has a rich history of undertaking action to make it harder for people to vote," she said."
Let's wait and see how quickly the Fraudocrats, LYING LEFT, and FAKE NEWS scramble to try to DENY THE FACTS, and DEFEND ILLEGALS VOTING...
We don’t have to wait and see how Righties try to score debating points with made up words and childish capitalizations in place of rational argument.
Oops... Seems like there was a little data problem...

And we don't have to wait and see the DP Left DESPERATELY RUNNING FROM THE TOPIC.
The post you absurdly responded to was directly on topic. It suggested waiting for the facts to come out.

So the 58,000 who HAVE VOTED IN OUR ELECTIONS should be ignored.

Texas' election chief apologizes over flawed noncitizen list
Secretary of State David Whitley had previously refused to acknowledge mistakes in the three weeks since his office gave election fraud prosecutors a voter list that included tens of thousands of U.S. citizens who were wrongly flagged .
