Votebeat is a nonprofit news organization reporting on voting access and election administration across the U.S. Sign up for Votebeat Texas’ free newsletter here.State and federal officials on Tuesday announced charges against seven people accused of voting in federal elections while not eligible citizens.The Texas Secretary of State’s Office separately said it had referred 117 cases of potential noncitizen voting to the Texas Attorney General’s Office for investigation. It also confirmed that 578 other registered voters flagged last year as potential noncitizens by a federal database are, in fact, U.S. citizens. The criminal charges announced Tuesday, all in Tarrant County, are the result of a collaboration between the Texas Attorney General’s Office, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Texas, the FBI, and Homeland Security Investigations, a division of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, according to a press release from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Republican. Six of the accused were indicted last week, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Texas said, and the seventh person was charged in a criminal complaint. Those charged include Mexican citizen Carlos Salas Barrios, who was arrested for voting in the 2024 election, though his ballot was ultimately rejected, according to a statement from the U.S. Department of Justice. Also charged was Nigerian national Joshua Nmelichukwu Akpom, who was arrested for making false statements in relation to naturalization, according to the release. Akpom voted illegally in the 2018 general election, but was not charged in relation to that due to the statute of limitations, according to the U.S. Department of Justice statement.Nigerian national Helen Mayen Adams, Indian citizen Khalwinder Singh Bhengura, Mexican citizen Moises Anwar Arellano-Alba, Democratic Republic of the Congo national Celestin Katubadi, and Mexican citizen Rocio Thrasher were all charged with illegally voting in the 2024 election and false statements of citizenship to register to vote. Katubadi cast a provisional ballot that was ultimately rejected, the U.S. Department of Justice statement said. Paxton’s office didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment, and no additional details were immediately available. Votebeat on Tuesday could not immediately find reliable contact information for the people charged. There are more than 18 million registered voters in Texas, and more than 11 million cast ballots in the November 2024 general election. Seven people make up a tiny fraction of that number.Nonetheless, the charges come as President Donald Trump’s administration has sought to crack down on what it has asserted is an increase of noncitizens registered to vote in the country. His administration has reportedly surged resources into investigations connected to potential cases of voter fraud and noncitizen voting. Earlier this month, the Justice Department charged five people in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and New Jersey with voting-related crimes. State confirms citizenship for more than 500 flagged votersIn a separate news release Tuesday, the Texas Secretary of State’s Office said it had referred 117 potential cases of noncitizen voting to the Office of the Attorney General for investigation. The cases are not tied to a specific election. The referrals are part of “a larger update on Texas’ ongoing efforts to review voter citizenship ahead of the Nov. 3 election,” the news release said. Texas officials last October sent counties a list of 2,724 potential noncitizens generated by checking the state’s voter roll of more than 18 million registered voters against a federal program used to verify citizenship, known as SAVE. Soon after the state transmitted the names, counties began to investigate the flagged registrants, and quickly confirmed that at least some were citizens. In addition, county officials found that hundreds of the flagged voters had registered through the state Department of Public Safety, which requires proof of citizenship, such as a passport, and keeps copies of such documents on file.The Texas Secretary of State’s Office told Votebeat and the Texas Tribune that it did not initially check the registrants flagged as potential noncitizens against DPS records before sending the list to county election officials to investigate. That decision prompted a March lawsuit from voting rights groups and some Texas voters who said the state should have done so. The lawsuit is still pending in federal court.In May, state officials confirmed they would check the DPS records. In July, Christina Adkins, the state elections director, told county officials the state had been able to confirm some of the flagged voters were citizens, and said county officials should immediately reinstate any incorrectly flagged voters who had been removed from the voter roll. The Tuesday news release said officials were able to confirm citizenship for 578 voters, and of those, 506 were flagged because their passport information was not added to the federal SAVE program until after Texas had initially checked its list. County voter registrars in Texas received a directive to reinstate the incorrectly flagged voters Tuesday, Kristin Miles, president of the Texas Association of County Election Officials, said in a statement. Miles said the registrars “are grateful that due diligence performed at the state level has brought resolution for impacted voters.”Natalia Contreras covers election administration and voting access for Votebeat in partnership with the Texas Tribune.

(The Center Square) — A group of 62 current and former Washington judges is defending state Supreme Court candidate Sean O’Donnell after his opponent accused him of pursuing a partisan agenda in the race for Position 4. The judges said in a letter that allegations made by Washington Court of Appeals Judge Ian Birk against O’Donnell are false and risk bringing the type of partisan conflict seen in other political races into Washington’s judicial elections. “None of us have ever heard him suggest or inject partisan politics into any of his decisions or work he has done for the judicial branch,” the judges wrote in a letter to Washington voters released in September. The letter comes after Birk accused O’Donnell in a campaign fundraising email of choosing to “join” a slate of candidates recommended by the Washington State Republican Party, being “affiliated” with the State GOP while serving as a judge and having a “partisan agenda” in his campaign for the Supreme Court. Birk’s campaign responded to questions about the letter and said voters deserve to know about O’Donnell’s political support. “Honesty matters,” the campaign said. “Sean O’Donnell needs to make a decision: Either he is fine with his support from the Washington State Republican Party, and it’s not a big deal, or it is a big deal, and he should disavow that support and ask to be removed from their materials.” The Birk campaign also pointed to O’Donnell’s relationship with former Republican Attorney General Rob McKenna, saying O’Donnell was previously highlighted as a “Rising Star” on McKenna’s Full Court Press website and has accepted a campaign contribution from McKenna. Independent reporting has confirmed McKenna contributed $500 to O’Donnell’s campaign. O’Donnell has said he was not affiliated with Full Court Press and asked that his name be removed from its website after becoming aware he was listed. O’Donnell said he contacted Birk earlier this year and proposed that the candidates focus their campaigns on their records and visions for the court. O’Donnell said Birk did not respond. O’Donnell has rejected Birk’s characterization of his campaign as partisan. He has pointed to endorsements from Democratic elected officials and organizations, as well as the Washington State Republican Party recommendation, as evidence that his campaign has support from across the political spectrum. O’Donnell said Birk has asked him to disavow the Republican recommendation. He argued that doing so could conflict with his responsibilities as a judicial candidate. Washington’s Code of Judicial Conduct includes rules addressing political and campaign activity and requires judges and judicial candidates to preserve the independence, integrity and impartiality of the judiciary. “Impartiality is the northstar of being a judge,” O’Donnell said in a Facebook post. Birk, 47, was appointed to the Washington Court of Appeals in 2022 by then-Gov. Jay Inslee and later won election to retain the position. Before becoming a judge, he spent about 20 years as a civil litigator representing individuals, families and small businesses in cases involving insurance, workplace discrimination and consumer protection. In a Washington State Standard voter guide questionnaire, Birk said courts should decide cases based on facts and law “never politics or pressure.” “The job of the judge is to decide cases based on reason, without an agenda, and without favoritism,” Birk wrote. Birk’s campaign said his record includes representing families, workers and vulnerable people before becoming a judge and emphasized his statewide endorsements as evidence of his judicial record. The 62 judges similarly argued that bipartisan support should not be treated as evidence of partisanship in a judicial race. “Democratic elected officials and many Democratic Party organizations have endorsed Judge O’Donnell. State and local Republicans have endorsed him too,” they wrote. “In judicial races, bipartisan support is something to be celebrated rather than demonized.” The judges also defended O’Donnell’s record, saying he has served for more than 25 years as a King County prosecutor, King County Superior Court judge and pro tem justice on the state Supreme Court. The candidates have also outlined different approaches to artificial intelligence in the courts. O’Donnell has called for firm guardrails around judges’ use of AI in decision-making, while Birk has said the technology raises multiple distinct issues that may require different approaches. The race is nonpartisan, and Birk and O’Donnell are the only two candidates for Position 4. Both advanced directly to the Nov. 3 general election. The two candidates are seeking to replace Justice Charles W. Johnson, who is retiring after reaching the state’s mandatory judicial retirement age. The race is one of several Supreme Court races taking place this election season. The makeup of the court will be at stake, as the question of the state's income tax and other major issues are expected to come before the court next year. The 62 judges acknowledged voters may disagree over which candidate should win, but urged both campaigns to focus on their records and visions for the court. “The public deserves” candidates who focus on their records and visions for the court, the judges wrote, warning that judicial campaigns should not increasingly resemble partisan political campaigns. “Let’s keep the campaign to those important issues,” the judges wrote.
