Ken Paxton is investigating more than 100 cases of "potential noncitizens" voting in two recent election cycles, with a focus on Harris County. A Houston attorney says it's a "smoke and mirrors game" to diminish the influence of Democratic voters.

Texas AG Ken Paxton opens investigation into allegations of ‘potential noncitizens’ voting in Harris County
The investigation, which also targets Cameron, Eastland and Guadalupe counties, comes ahead of a special legislative session in which state lawmakers will consider giving the attorney general's office the authority to prosecute election crimes. A Houston attorney says the probe is part of a "smoke and mirrors game" to diminish the influence of Democratic voters.
The Texas Senate passed a bill that would require people to provide proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in state elections. It would effectively require the state to prepare one ballot for federal elections and another for state elections.

Texas Senate passes bill requiring proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote
Senate Bill 16 would effectively set up a dual system of balloting in Texas – where those who have not provided proof of citizenship would only be able to vote in federal elections, not state elections. It would also enact criminal penalties for knowingly registering to vote if a noncitizen or knowingly registering a noncitizen to vote.
It might be hard to believe, but Election Day is now just over nine weeks away. As Nov. 5 rapidly approaches, top Texas officials have been making big moves toward what they say will create a safer and more secure election.
