Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sent a letter demanding that the federal government fulfill its legal obligations by providing any information it possesses regarding the citizenship status of people who may be illegally registered to vote in Texas.
On September 18, Attorney General Paxton urged the Texas Secretary of State to request data from the federal government that would enable Texas to determine the citizenship status of certain registered voters without a State of Texas-issued driver’s license or identification card. To expedite the process of voter eligibility verification, Attorney General Paxton requested a list of the approximately 450,000 voters whose citizenship status has never been checked from the Texas Secretary of State so he could send it to the federal government himself.
While it is a crime for noncitizens to register to vote, federal law has been construed by the courts to restrict states from requiring proof of citizenship as a prerequisite for registration. However, the same federal laws also place obligations on the federal government to help states investigate and identify potential noncitizens on voter rolls. Attorney General Paxton’s request letter formally triggers these obligations.
“I demand full cooperation from the federal government to ensure that any noncitizens remaining on Texas’s voter registration rolls are identified,” said Attorney General Paxton. “The Biden-Harris Administration is legally obligated to assist States in doing so, and it is imperative that we use every tool available to uphold the integrity of our elections.”

Unfortunately, this is another case of a politicians "too little, too late'" syndrome.
Paxton and the TX Secretary of State could have done this a year ago.
Now with 30 days to the election, the Biden corruptocrats will either tell Paxton that they do not have the data or they are not required to give him the data or they are too busy bringing new illegals into to Texas to have time to give him the data.
I like Paxton, but 'strongly worded letters' are not sufficient. The State AG's need to be bringing the FEDS into court every day and force the FEDS to testify under oath.

“While it is a crime for noncitizens to register to vote, federal law has been construed by the courts to restrict states from requiring proof of citizenship as a prerequisite for registration”
It’s called the “Honor System” and it’s a huge part of why we’re becoming a Third World country.
Meanwhile the Leftists (along with their shills here) run around the world starting wars, all to distract us from what REALLY COUNTS, such as the integrity of our voting system.
“could have done this a year ago.”
That’s what is so absolutely infuriating! Why the hell didn’t all the red states start this THREE YEARS AGO? A month before the election is utterly insane. The FedGov will simply ignore his “demand” and ultimately nothing will happen, no heads will roll, and we’ll merrily continue down the path to full communism.
Why, it’s almost like we have a Uniparty.
While bringing this up sooner would have been nice (I’m convinced that the entire Republican leadership thinks the country still votes on Election Day), my advice to Paxton would be to simply INVALIDATE all 450,000 registrations unless and until the voters, or the feds, come forward with citizenship information.

If the FEDS do not respond by Oct 17th, Paxton should order the election supervisors in each Texas county to give PROVISIONAL BALLOTS to these 450,000 voter registrants. That way the 450,000 get to vote, but their vote will not be counted until they prove their citizenship.
Texas needs to up the ante if the FEDS, as expected, do not comply with the request by Oct 17th.
he should ask for kamala’s birth records and her parents immigration forms.
that’s when you find out kamala was born to tow foreign citizens who hadn’t started immigrating.
her claims to the 14th are iffy but any claim she’s a natural born citizen are just rubbish.
I guess I’m a little confused. The election process is not run by the feds. It is run by each individual state as long as they stay within the lowest level of the constitution.
And each state can decide to require ID to vote. Thirty-six states have laws requesting or requiring voters to show some form of identification at the polls at this time. So Paxton is already using Texas law to do the election. He can require ID of what ever is needed within Texas which can be a voter registration card. And how they determine that card is the state’s responsibility.
The feds have no idea who crossed the line getting into the country so their only real part of the election process is to count and confirm what the states send up with electoral college votes. And if the tallies do not reach the levels need to elect, the senate elects the POTUS and the house elects the VPOTUS. I guess I don’t understand what he is doing unless it is to prove a point about illegal immigration. But the feds can’t answer his question. That process is up to the individual states.

I suggest you read-—

Documents are available here: Kamala Harris Dossier
Texas has about 18 million Registered Voters.
When Texas used their REAL ID data, they found 450,000 registrants who did not have citizenship proof.
This tells me that REAL ID has become a very effective way to clean up the voter rolls.
Now, the other states need to do the same.
‘“could have done this a year ago.”

A state AG can demand all they like from the federal government, but the feds are under no obligation to comply or even answer the request.
But it all seems to be back at the state as the action of determining the valid registration lies with the state:
§20504. Simultaneous application for voter registration and application for motor vehicle driver’s license
(a) In general
(1) Each State motor vehicle driver’s license application (including any renewal application) submitted to the appropriate State motor vehicle authority under State law shall serve as an application for voter registration with respect to elections for Federal office unless the applicant fails to sign the voter registration application.
(c) Forms and procedures
(1) Each State shall include a voter registration application form for elections for Federal office as part of an application for a State motor vehicle driver’s license.
So if the illegal fails to sign the application form, he will be registered for federal elections just by applying for a driver’s license as it is part of the package and the state is required to chase the info. Paxton is digging in the wrong place.
The feds do not do an election nor do they register people to vote. Tack that on to the feds having no information on any of the flown in, snuck in, or walked in, they couldn’t even fathom a number for Texas to let vote in their part of the process. They can only use the entry point info that doesn’t cover anywhere near what the need as they have released millions into the country that could be in any state. And with states not using ID they could easily vote more than once, vote in numerous locations or even states, or be the walking dead.
And that’s my point. Only the state can control it and the feds are impotent to help.

He is trying to get them to enforce their own federal laws!
Besides, every state should have started aggressive efforts to purge the rolls 3-1/2 years ago.
