Louisiana is among nine states that plan to swap voter rolls with the state of Texas.

The move is the latest effort to prevent duplicate registrations. According to Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson, the agreements establish a secure and cooperative process for comparing voter registration records.

"These agreements are a significant step in our ongoing commitment to maintain accurate voter registration lists and upholding the integrity of our elections,” said Secretary Nelson. “By working together, we are demonstrating how states can responsibly share information while protecting voter data.”

ACLU cites lack of transparency and financial profits with ICE detention at Angola “These agreements are a significant step in our ongoing commitment to maintain accurate voter registration lists and upholding the integrity of our elections,” said Secretary Nelson. “By working together, we are demonstrating how states can responsibly share information while protecting voter data.”

Some officials argue that this will not be beneficial. Esmie Tseng, with the ACLU of Kansas, responded after Kansas Secretary of State Scott Schwab announced the new agreement, calling it a “common-sense step toward cleaner rolls and better election administration.” Esmie Tseng from the ACLU of Kansas responded by saying, “This is another example of how politicians are weaponizing xenophobia and the total myth of voter fraud to remove eligible voters from the rolls and attack our fundamental right to vote.”

“Secretary Schwab may claim this is not the same as Crosscheck, but there is little evidence of how he has moved to meaningfully ensure Kansans will be protected from data breaches or being removed incorrectly,” said Tseng. She also noted that they have numerous examples of how he has moved to meaningfully ensure Kansans will be protected from data breaches or being removed incorrectly,” said Tseng. She also noted that they have numerous examples of how insecure and error-prone government databases and sharing processes can be.

Earlier this year, Louisiana Secretary of State Nancy Landry announced that the state would share additional voter list maintenance data with neighboring states.

Texas will swap voter rolls with nine states: Alabama, Arkansas, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Ohio, South Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia.

    So that way you can check for duplicates.

    And coincidentally, if Trump sends the Texas national guard in to one or all of those states, like he seemed to be planning for Chicago, they have a list of names and addresses should they need to go door to door searching houses and making arrests. Cool.

    If Trump sends Texas National Guard troops into Illinois, it will mark the first time he’s deployed one state’s guard personnel against a nonconsenting state, raising severe state sovereignty issues.

    “Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: Once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?”
