Story is obviously an attempt to smear Musk and X/Twitter. Libs can’t stand not being able to control the narrative. The NYT has spent vast resources attacking sites like ‘Libs Of Tik-Tok’. The NYT even published a long story on the dangers of ‘The Babylon Bee’ a couple of years back.
Specifically to this story.
Quoting Texas Sec. Of State Jane Nelson from an article 4 days ago:
“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).”
Ms. Nelson also points out that while Federal law allows voters to register with just a SSN, Texas law requires valid ID to actually vote.
Maybe some enterprising Freeper can look at Texas voter registration numbers. There should be a way to verify the increase in voter registration numbers in TX. I may do this later on today if I get the time.
Story goes on to say the data on the 1.2 million is an increase in voter registration verification requests, not actual voter registrations, and comes from the Biden Social Security Administration. Maybe the NYT can ask how the SSA is spending taxpayer money and why does the SSA have time to produce garbage data.

“””Ms. Nelson also points out that while Federal law allows voters to register with just a SSN, Texas law requires valid ID to actually vote.”””
This highlights the problem. Once a non-citizen is registered, then that non-citizen or a corrupt political party person can cast a vote.
