8 Texas counties list more voters than residents

[Geee]

Watchdog.org:

No law prevents localities from having more registered voters than voting-age residents, and eight Texas counties do.

 

Now a vote-watch group accuses the counties of violating the National Voting Rights Act by failing to purge dead and ineligible voters.

 

True the Vote’s Catherine Engelbrecht threatens legal action if counties don’t purge their bloated voter-registration rolls.

 

“We are deeply concerned (that) voter rolls contain substantial numbers of ineligible voters,” True the Vote founder Catherine Engelbrecht stated in a letter to the eight Texas counties.

 

The counties — Loving, Brooks, McMullen, Roberts, Irion, Jim Hogg, Culberson and Polk — list a combined 52,298 registered voters. But the latest U.S. Census data show only 49,457 voting-age residents in those counties
