The Texas secretary of state again mistakenly flagged registered voters for citizenship reviews. Some counties received new names of "possible non-U.S. citizens" on Monday. But it was actually an error. #txlege bit.ly/2O0jByO

Satisfied by McCraw yesterday? “I thought his testimony provided greater clarity to a process that seems like it’s been rather opaque,” @GovAbbott tells reporters.
Still 100 percent behind Whitley? “Yes,” Abbott says. #txlege

Abbott blamed McCraw for issues w/ voter rolls review — 25K/100K voters were wrongly flagged over mix-up between DPS & SOS.
But he's behind Whitley whose office ordered the review using a process they knew was fundamentally flawed & would impact naturalized citizens #txlege twitter.com/PatrickSvitek/…

.@GovAbbott to reporters, on admissions scandal that included UT coach: “Appropriate” for feds to continue their probe. “It’s important for every university to go back & re-evaluate & study their admissions processes” to make sure this hasn’t happened/isn’t happening/won’t happen

Yesterday, we confirmed Travis County & Williamson County received additional names in error.
In court filing today, plaintiffs indicated Cameron County received the names of 78 voters in error — 54 of them had registered to vote at DPS & had already proved citizenship #txlege twitter.com/TexasTribune/s…

Texas mistakenly flagged more voters for citizenship reviews yesterday.
That's the second time this has happened.
A spokesman for the secretary of state said a vendor is to blame.
