Texas Sues Biden Administration Over Voter Citizenship Verification

The lawsuit alleges the federal government is withholding data needed to verify the citizenship status of 450,000 registered voters in Texas.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security, claiming they are not providing necessary citizenship data.
The lawsuit focuses on 450,000 registered voters in Texas whose citizenship status has not been verified due to lack of state-issued ID.
Paxton argues that the federal government's refusal to share information from the SAVE program hinders Texas's ability to ensure election integrity.
The Department of Homeland Security maintains that the SAVE program is the appropriate tool for verifying voter citizenship status.
Texas officials claim that the SAVE program is inadequate without access to unique federal immigration identifiers, which are not readily available to state agencies.
