Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson releases a statement addressing concerns about over 2 million potential voter registrations without Voter ID shown on the Social Security website in the past 6 months. Nelson refutes claims of mass voter registration without photo ID, stating Texas has added around 58,000 new voters since the beginning of 2024. The statement follows reports of misinformation spread by Elon Musk regarding voter registrations in Texas and Arizona.
DATA: Is it weird that the Social Security Administration hasn't released no-ID voter registration data since it was reported that Texas was accessing the database 56% more than every other state combined? Is TX investigating? @DC_Draino @EndWokeness @KenPaxtonTX @GregAbbott_TX https://t.co/wcSign007m
Elon Musk dubbed an X/Twitter post “extremely concerning” after it alleged large numbers of voters were registering in the U.S. without IDs, but election officials in Texas and Arizona were quick to call him out for spreading misinformation. Story: https://t.co/qX1Ow6M84X https://t.co/OmQkVTSFt4

Texas Sec. of State @SecJaneNelson, a former GOP state senator appointed by @GovAbbott, says reports of mass voter registration w/o photo ID are "totally inaccurate." She notes that TX has added ~58K new voters since start of '24 — far less than 1.2M figure promoted by @elonmusk https://t.co/KbIFPM8h4M
