Texas Sued Over Voter Purge Allegations: Legal Battle Brews Over Citizenship Checks

Voting rights organizations are suing Texas, alleging the state's use of a federal immigration database (SAVE) to review voter eligibility is flawed and could wrongly purge eligible citizens from voter rolls. The lawsuit claims the state failed to use reliable data and provided inadequate guidance to counties, potentially infringing on constitutional voting rights. Plaintiffs seek to halt the state's process and restore any improperly removed voters.
