Trump returns to 'rampant' voter fraud theme following Texas investigation

Trump early Sunday pushed questionable claims about Texas officials reviewing voter rolls to warn of "rampant" voter fraud and advocate for "Strong voter ID."

The president alleged that 58,000 noncitizens voted in Texas, and that 95,000 noncitizens registered to vote. His tweet was apparently spurred by a "Fox & Friends" segment on the figures at about 8 a.m.

In fact, The Texas Tribune reported that the Texas secretary of state's office announced Friday it had flagged 95,000 registered voters who it said should be reviewed to determine whether they are U.S. citizens.

Of that group, 58,000 cast a ballot in at least one election from 1996 to 2018, The Texas Tribune reported.

The identified individuals provided some form of documentation when obtaining an identification card that showed they were not citizens, the news outlet reported. However, it's unclear how many are still not U.S. citizens, as some may have been naturalized.
