Who are the targets of H.R. 1428? The targets are citizens whose names may seem questionable to election officials. Where will they start this search? Are they going to start with Green. Smith. or Jones? Or are they going to start the search with Gonzales. Torres. or Jiminez? Conceivably. this bill would allow election officials to send the names of whole neighborhoods for verification. In Texas we have this ability now to challenge voters. I support all efforts to stop voter fraud. However. this bill does seem to target our immigrant population. I urge my colleagues to oppose this antiimmigrant bill.
