House Oversight Expands Its Voter Rights Inquiries To Texas And Kansas

On the heels of a request that Georgia turn over documents related to allegations of voter suppression, the House Oversight Committee is now seeking documents from election officials in Texas and Kansas, the committee announced Thursday.


The Texas document requests — sent to Texas acting Secretary of State David Whitley and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton — have to do with a sloppily assembled list the state used to claim that tens of thousands of noncitizens were registered to vote and to instruct local officials to start the process of purging them from the voting rolls.

The Kansas requests — sent to Kansas Secretary of State Scott Schwab and Ford County Clerk Debbie Cox — examine the decision to move a polling place in a minority heavy district to a location outside of city limits, more than a mile from the nearest bus stop.

Both the Texas and the Kansas issues were subject to lawsuits. The civil rights groups who sued over the relocation of Dodge City, Kansas, polling place were unable to move it back in time for the 2018 elections, but have since settled the lawsuit, with the city agreeing to open new polling places for future elections.
