On Tuesday, the Texas Legislative Black Caucus expressed strong disapproval of Governor Greg Abbott’s announcement regarding the removal of over one million people from Texas voter rolls. They voiced concerns that minority voters would be disproportionately affected by such sweeping actions.
Governor Abbott attributed the removals to legislation he enacted in 2021, which targets individuals who have moved out of state, passed away, or are non-citizens. However, Caucus Chairman Representative Ron Reynolds argued that most of these removals are simply part of the routine maintenance of voter rolls mandated by law.
