What Texans need to know about helping people register to vote or cast ballots

As efforts to get Texans to vote ramp up ahead of Election Day on Nov. 5, state officials have launched investigations into how some people are registered, executed search warrants over how some ballots have been cast and touted the removal of about 1 million people from voter rolls.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s office launched a probe after a Fox News host made claims — which have since been debunked — that migrants were registering to vote outside a state drivers license facility.

Paxton’s office also searched the homes of a Texas Democratic candidate and a legislative aide as part of an investigation into allegations of illegal vote harvesting. No one has been charged in connection with the probe and Latino rights activists have called it an effort to intimidate voters in the mostly-Latino Frio County.

Without providing evidence, Paxton told conservative media personality Glenn Beck that President Joe Biden’s administration wants to “fix the election” with policies and practices that eventually allow undocumented migrants to cast ballots. Other high-profile figures, like Elon Musk, have echoed those assertions.
