The effort by Texas officials "exemplifies the power of government to strike fear and anxiety and to intimidate the least powerful among us,” the judge wrote.AUSTIN, Texas — A federal judge declared there is no widespread voter fraud as he took steps to block Texas officials from removing people from voter rolls or making them prove they are U.S. citizens.
He also ordered acting Texas Secretary of State David Whitley to advise officials in the rest of the 254 counties to also not remove anyone from the lists without the court’s approval. Civil rights groups, Latino organizations and lawmakers who had sounded the alarm over Whitley's investigation hailed the judge's decision. In a news release, Whitley's office had announced it had identified 95,000 suspected ineligible voters, some 58,000 of whom had possibly voted illegally.
