Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced last week that more than a million people have been taken off Texas voter rolls since 2021 .

Abbott said people were removed for a variety of reasons, and those removed include people who have died, noncitizens and Texans who have been placed on a suspense list.

Some local officials say Abbott 's announcement is ill-timed and a move intended to intimidate voters.
