## Resource

Seven individuals face federal charges for allegedly voting illegally in recent elections, as state and federal authorities—including the Texas AG’s office, FBI, and DHS—launch a coordinated crackdown on noncitizen voting. With 117 potential cases referred for investigation and over 500 previously flagged voters confirmed as citizens, officials are tightening voter roll integrity ahead of key elections. Despite the small number of prosecutions, this marks part of a broader national effort to combat election fraud, with similar charges recently filed in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and New Jersey. County officials are also restoring wrongly removed voters whose passport info was outdated. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
