AUSTIN — State auditors found more than 49,000 potentially ineligible felons and dead people on Texas voter rolls this year, but did not find that any cast ballots in May's special election.
The audit report released Tuesday said that there may be even more potentially inaccurate voter information but they were unable to check for U.S. citizenship status or federal felony convictions or verify records that lacked a Social Security number and Texas driver's license number.
The audit recommended that the Secretary of State's Office do a better job of matching criminal conviction and death records with the voter list.

Auditors tried to check for citizenship status but could not find authoritative information. They contacted the U.S. Social Security Administration to obtain the citizenship status but were told that federal privacy laws prohibit the disclosure.
Future democratic voters, one and all!
If they had voted R, that fact would have been in the headline and splattered throughout the story.
Federal bureaucracy—what a waste of taxpayers money! If it had been the Internal Revenue Service and the names indicated that money was owed to the govt, you can bet your booties that the names would have been forthcoming.
The millisecond it happened, too.

I ran a scan of my town’s voter rolls against the property tax database, and discovered about 10% of the registered voters in town probably shouldn’t be on the list.
“The audit recommended that the Secretary of State’s Office do a better job of matching criminal conviction and death records with the voter list”......DUH! Do ‘ya think?
This all reminds me....my Dad died three months ago; suppose I need to let somebody at the registrar’s office in on it...
In Travis County, some people vote early AND often, 2-3 votes per election.
You know, it's not like they are so busy the other 11 months out of the year when elections aren't being run. Seems like a job that could be done in hours using computer data.
That’s beautiful!!! I have to save that and pass it on!!!

Seems like a decimal point error. Or two or three.
