Texas Gov. Greg Abbott recently announced over one million ineligible voters were removed from the state's voter rolls, which prompted accusations of voter suppression. Abbott spoke with FOX 7 Austin's Rudy Koski.
Recently, Texas removed nearly a million votes out of play for the November election. State officials claim they found a lot of names on county voter rolls that just simply didn't belong. The purge that resulted is somewhat of a rebooted overhaul, after a previous attempt a few years ago misidentified several thousand illegal voters. This recent effort has prompted accusations of voter suppression aimed at Texas Gov. Greg Abbott .
How is this review different from that misstep?GREG ABBOTT: So what it does, it authorizes, actually requires Texas Department of Public Safety to do a matching, to match people who may be applying for a driver's license or any other type of card, to identify those who are non-citizens, as well as have the DPS undertake further review to make sure that non-citizens are not registered to vote in the state of Texas.RUDY KOSKI: ACLU in 2019 said this is voter suppression.
