Subject Texans Deserve Accurate Voter Rolls — Not a Broken Database

I'm a constituent writing because I'm worried about Texans losing their right to vote based on bad information. Texas used a federal database called SAVE to flag more than 2,000 people on our voter rolls as potential noncitizens. That alone should raise red flags — but here's what really concerns me: Secretary of State Jane Nelson herself wrote to federal immigration officials questioning whether that same database was producing accurate results. If the person running our elections doesn't trust the tool, why are we using it to remove voters?

When a system flags someone incorrectly, that person has to scramble to prove they're a citizen before an election deadline — or they lose their vote. That's not protecting election integrity. That's creating a situation where eligible Texans get knocked off the rolls through no fault of their own. Real Texans. Neighbors. People who have voted here for years. And if those 2,000 flags are even partially wrong, we're talking about eligible voters being silenced because of a database the Secretary of State herself doubted.

I'm asking you to demand a full public accounting of how the SAVE database was used to purge Texas voters — who was flagged, how many were restored, and whether the tool has been suspended until accuracy can be confirmed. Eligible Texans should never lose their vote because of a tool our own Secretary of State questioned.

I'm calling about Texas using the SAVE database to flag over 2,000 voters. Secretary of State Jane Nelson actually wrote to federal immigration officials questioning whether that tool gives accurate results — so I want to know why it's still being used to remove people from the rolls.
If this database makes mistakes, real eligible voters get kicked off the rolls right before an election. That's not protecting anything — that's causing harm to people who have every right to vote.
I'm asking the Representative to push for a full public accounting: who was flagged, how many were restored, and whether Texas has paused using this tool until we know it works correctly.
My neighbors should not have to fight to prove their citizenship because of a database our own Secretary of State doubted — and I vote.
