TEXAS Statement on Voter Registration ID Requirements
Texas Secretary of State ^ | April 3, 2024 | Jane Nelson

Posted on 04/08/2024 5:00:46 AM PDT by Presbyterian Reporter

Austin — There have been recent and inaccurate reports about the voter registration process and ID requirements in Texas. Please see the statement from Secretary of State Jane Nelson below.

"It is totally inaccurate that 1.2 million voters have registered to vote in Texas without a photo ID this year. The truth is our voter rolls have increased by 57,711 voters since the beginning of 2024. This is less than the number of people registered in the same timeframe in 2022 (about 65,000) and in 2020 (about 104,000).

When Texans register to vote, they must provide a driver license number or a Social Security number. When an individual registers to vote with just a SSN, the state verifies that the SSN is authentic.

While federal law allows individuals to register to vote without a photo ID, Texans must actually show proof of ID to vote. The 1.2 million figure comes from the Social Security Administration’s (SSA) website, which is supposed to report the number of times states have asked to verify an individual’s social security number. The SSA number is clearly incorrect, and we are working now to determine why there is such a large discrepancy."

So many questions regarding this statement.

1. How many people registered using a Social Security Number?

2. Has Biden been giving illegal aliens a Social Security number?

3. Texas is a REAL ID state so how many people registered using a REAL ID?

4. Does Texas require a photo ID to show proof when voting by mail?

These are some of the questions I have.

It’s the Biden Social Security Admin. that has been supplying the inaccurate figures about veryifying SS numbers. Yet, the liberal media have been blasting ‘disinformation’ by X/Twitter users who are only reporting the data obtained from the the SS Administration.

If there’s any ‘misinformation’ involved, it’s coming from the Federal Gov’t in D.C.

We're talkin about jackasses who are in America and Texas ILLEGALLY. I don't think providing a bogus Driver's license number to some local yokel county political hack to get a voter registration means much to them. Hell, they walk around Walmart these days like they own the joint.

In cities like Houston, they have a better way to cheat
Republican precincts run out of ballots early in the morning
When they call to request more ballots before they run out, nobody answers the phone.
When they GO to get more ballots, no one is there.
This happened in all the Republican majority precincts.

One problem that Texas DEFINITELY has is that it doesn’t ‘unregister’ people. The house that I’ve lived in for 10 years is STILL getting registration cards from people who probably lived there prior to us moving in.

If I did try voting with those cards, I wouldn’t get very far, due to our Voter ID and signature requirements. But other states AUTOMATICALLY send vote-by-mail forms to all ‘registered’ residents...and then don’t bother to verify the ballots that are sent back. Not good.

The third party runs the website. It’s actually pretty fast and easy to use, unlike anything a government lackey could produce.

These precincts should have as many ballots handy as there are registered voters. No need to run out unless they plan to cheat.
What party does the registrar of voters belong to?

hen an individual registers to vote with just a SSN, the state verifies that the SSN is authentic.

**************

so, if brandon IS issuing SSAN to his “new arrivals” in order for the to “work” then what’s to keep the illegal migrants from using their newly issuded SSAN to register to vote.

plus doesn’t texass have motor voter registration?

I have been concerned about this Biden tactic for some time. The Democrats cheated with Covid Mail In Ballots in 2020 so the Dems game plan for 2024 is to have millions of illegals getting registered and then voting in Nov 2024.

A number is not a Photo ID... You can provide a Driver's License Number or SS number. They may be valid numbers for someone, but where's the photo check?

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

2020 election turned on 100,000 fraudulent votes nationwide in the swing states, so how many of the millions of “new arrivals” does it take to squeeze through the voter requirement key hole to change the election in swing states??

You are correct that it only takes about 100,000 votes by illegal aliens for Biden to win the swing states in 2024.

In 2020 Trump won in Texas by 5,890,347 votes to Biden’s 5,259,126 votes.

So in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 to date, how many people in Texas have been registered to vote with just a SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER?

Could 600,000 illegal aliens have already been registered to vote in Texas out of the millions who have crossed the border?

The question Texans need to ask the TX Secretary of State is how many folks have been registered to vote with only a SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER since January 2021.
