More than 1.2 million Texans are on the state’s Voter Suspense list ahead of the fall’s contentious midterm elections. Texans still have time to check if they’re registered to vote before the October 5 deadline. Here’s how.

It's a very poor article. Nobody is 'suspended'. Anyone on this 'suspense' list, can still vote. All they want is confirmation of current address, which can be done on the spot, at the poll, while voting, by filling out name, address, signature on an SOR form. Nothing to it, and not nefarious.

You show up to vote, suspended, vote provisional “if they can find it” have to find time to fix it. Millions of working people don’t have that kind of spare time. That’s what they are counting on. I’m willing to bet there’s a certain demographic that’s been suspended.

That is incorrect misinformation. Even the word you use is wrong. Suspense, is NOT suspended. You are registered, but the county is not certain of your current address. All you have to do is confirm it and vote a standard ballot.

Slight error in the article. Voters on suspense list at the polls do not have to vote provisional.They can fill out an sor form and vote a standard ballot. Best to clear it in advance of course. But an SOR (statement of residence) is a very simple form and voting a standard ballot beats provisional.

I usually start checking my TX voter registration every other month...then every month, and in the last three months before deadline, weekly. That's how much I don't trust the system after being twice thrown off after GOP took over. Today's check...still good.

Suspense status does not mean you are thrown off voting rolls. You can still vote on suspense. It's just a confirmation or update of your address. Sometimes it flags multiple times, but it never means you cant vote. I've been on suspense once, bc they mailed something to an old address. It's benign.

AND the REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR SENATOR is the man who has repeatedly purged the voting rolls ahead of elections and thrown out ballots after...We need to PURGE KEN PAXTON from the candidate list.

What happened to me definitely happened. Two things: claiming I was not a resident of the town I live in, so could not vote in city election. I had lived there for years. Served on City Council & Library Board. Who made that decision? The county EMS director, they claimed.

Suspense does not prevent anyone from voting. The terminology is bad, as it evokes 'suspension' as on cancellation - which it is not. County needs to verify or update voter's current address. Remedied with a simple SOR form (name address signature) at the polls.

TxGOP pulls any trick it can get away with to suppress the vote. But this is not that. Suspense lists are kept and administered by local county officials, so the party affiliation varies, and it does absolutely nothing to prevent anyone from voting.

Texas is trying everything they can to keep the Evils in power. The Evils are trying everything they can to keep regular people from voting them out. Remember the time they just decided to shut down polls? We need to keep following them as polls stay open and votes are counted. And disputed.

does anyone know if this suspension list is publicly available? Would love to see the demographic data in it. I'd not bet against the list being zero R's and mostly D's and I's.

This is not a nefarious plot as it's understandably being viewed. Suspense list does not prevent anyone from voting, altho misinfo and hysteria over it might. Distrust of local election admin is corrosive. All suspense is about is mundane record keeping. It just means the county is unsure of addy.

•EYES UP! Pay ATTENTION!• Texas!* *Dumld is, •WILDLY• desperate to see that YOU •CAN’T• Vote, AT ALL!** **IF you vote ‘Independent’?/Take a, ‘PASS’? On Midterm Elect? HE! LOSSES!! (What he does BEST!) QIUTE POSS? WILL. go. To. JAIL!!!! (‘Do NOT pass Go! Do NOT Collect Monopoly $$$!!!’)

It's not voter suppression. Nobody is removed from voter rolls. It's just an address confirmation or update. Simple form, SOR, name address signature - then vote a standard ballot. It's routine record upkeep. And people rightly get annoyed, when their registration data is NOT up to date.

I checked the state registration link in the article and it said I was NOT registered so I went to the Gregg County with my voter registration card (which says it is valid until 01//27), and I WAS registered. So don’t panic if the state site says no - just verify locally.

As long as the voter suppression SAVE Act doesn’t pass, I will be fine. If it passes, I lose my right to vote as my passport renewal was denied - Trump changed the rule to require a long form birth certificate dated within a year of birth. I was adopted at 2, and no long form BC exists.

I urge all voters to check their status before the voter registration deadlines for the November Election! It is a very good idea, even if you think you won't bother voting for some unknown reason!

Texans! tell your neighbors and people on the street that the state has dis-enrolled millions from the voter rolls! They need to double check it wasn’t them who were disenfranchised!

Suspense status isnt disenfranchisement. You can still vote, but the bureaucracy needs to confirm your address, which can be fixed on the spot at the polls by filling out an SOR form. It's just your address and a signature. Basically you are confirming you still live there.
