A lawsuit filed on Monday has claimed that hundreds of noncitizens are registered to vote in Harris County, Texas, according to Fox26 in Houston.
The lawsuit, filed in Houston by the Public Interest Legal Foundation, seeks to remove noncitizens who are currently registered from the voter roll, and seeks to ensure no more are added to it in the future.
"In essence what we have here is evidence of people saying they are not U.S. citizens on voter registration records in Harris County, and yet they are becoming registered voters anyway," said Logan Churchwell, spokesman for the PILF. According to Fox26, "The documentation shows the noncitizen's registration was usually revoked years later."
FOX 26: Hundreds of non-citizens registered to vote in Harris County, alleges lawsuit by Public Interest Legal Foundation.
The PILF claims they had to sue in federal court, because the office of Harris County Registrar Ann Harris Bennett declined to provide the requested records.
All of these applications were caught, and there is no allegation that anyone who is not a citizen is currently registered to vote.
A conservative activist in Houston, the Harris County Republican party and a number of Republican officials and candidates are asking the Texas Supreme Court to limit in-person and absentee voting options for Harris County voters during the pandemic.
