If foreigners and illegal immigrants voted in your local election, you'd wanna know, right?
Thanks to a lawsuit from the good folks at the Public Interest Foundation Harris County, Texas, the third biggest county in the country, will soon be required to disclose all the records they have on illegal voting.
Strange that they wouldn't want us to know otherwise, isn't it?
The Houston Chronicle reports:
In a victory for government transparency, Harris County officials settled a lawsuit Tuesday with a conservative voting rights group, agreeing to disclose records of foreign nationals who voted in Texas elections and records documenting their attempts to register.
The Indianapolis-based Public Interest Legal Foundation behind the lawsuit is headed by J. Christian Adams, a voting-fraud crusader. He served in the Justice Department during the administration of President George W. Bush and was later tapped to serve on the Trump administration’s election integrity commission, which set out to clean up voting rolls around the country and prevent non-citizens from casting ballots.
Adams characterized the agreement as “the best possible outcome for clean elections in Texas” and said his group intends to use the data to catalog and provide stakeholders with information on problems that allow foreigners to get on voter rolls.
