October 9, 2024 | Austin, TX
An update from JoAnn Fleming, Executive Director, Grassroots America - We the People PAC
You need to know what Paxton has been doing to hold our Secretary of State accountable!
After you read this, you will better understand WHY I told you not to believe the razzle dazzle “hype” that was put out by some politicians and their trained media seals about how TX voter rolls were cleaned up and illegals removed!
Follow this timeline! Prepare to be disgusted!
9/18/24 Attorney General Ken Paxton issued a press release announcing that he sent Texas Secretary of State (SOS) Jane Nelson a letter urging her to use existing federal law to determine citizenship status for registered voters in Texas ahead of the 2024 General Election. He offered her his assistance. | Read the Paxton press release here.

10/2/24 Follow-up from AG Paxton, wisely checking on SOS progress, reveals stunning information about Secretary Nelson’s failure:
“On September 18, Attorney General Paxton urged Secretary Nelson to request data from the federal government that would enable Texas to determine the citizenship status of certain registered voters for whom the state cannot verify eligibility to vote. The Secretary of State’s Office ultimately sent a request to the federal government that allows for excessive delays, potentially preventing Texas from receiving this critical information before the election. Crucially, the request sent by SOS did not provide any information to the federal government about the individuals whose citizenship status needs to be verified, which defeats the purpose of the letter.
“Now, two weeks later and just one month from the election, the Texas Secretary of State still has not sent the list of Texas’s potential noncitizen voters to the federal government for verification. Today, Attorney General Paxton has requested the Secretary of State voluntarily share the list of potential noncitizen voters with the OAG through intergovernmental information sharing and has made a Public Information Act request to the Secretary of State’s office for the registration data to alternatively send it himself.”
