Governor Abbott Announces Over 1 Million Ineligible Voters Removed From Voter Rolls

August 26, 2024 | Austin, Texas | Press Release

Governor Greg Abbott today announced that since signing Senate Bill 1 into law in 2021, Texas has removed over one million people from the state’s voter rolls, including people who moved out-of-state, are deceased, and are noncitizens. That removal process has been, and will continue to be, ongoing.

“Election integrity is essential to our democracy,” said Governor Abbott. “I have signed the strongest election laws in the nation to protect the right to vote and to crackdown on illegal voting. These reforms have led to the removal of over one million ineligible people from our voter rolls in the last three years, including noncitizens, deceased voters, and people who moved to another state. The Secretary of State and county voter registrars have an ongoing legal requirement to review the voter rolls, remove ineligible voters, and refer any potential illegal voting to the Attorney General’s Office and local authorities for investigation and prosecution. Illegal voting in Texas will never be tolerated. We will continue to actively safeguard Texans’ sacred right to vote while also aggressively protecting our elections from illegal voting.”

Since Governor Abbott signed Senate Bill 1 into law in 2021, Texas has removed over 1 million people from the voter rolls, including:

Of the over 6,500 noncitizens removed from the voter rolls, approximately 1,930 have a voter history. The Secretary of State’s office is in the process of sending all 1,930 records to the Attorney General’s Office for investigation and potential legal action. To better crackdown on illegal voting, Governor Abbott signed House Bill 1243 into law last year, increasing the penalty for illegal voting, including voting by noncitizens, to a second-degree felony.

In 2021, Governor Abbott signed Senate Bill 1, Senate Bill 1113, and House Bill 574 into law. Senate Bill 1 elevated lying while registering to vote to a state jail felony, criminalized ballot harvesting, required the Secretary of State to conduct randomized audits of elections every two years, banned distribution of unsolicited mail-in ballot applications and ballots, and required ID for mail-in ballots. Senate Bill 1113 empowered the Secretary of State to withhold funds from counties that fail to remove noncitizens from their voter roll. House Bill 574 made it a second-degree felony to knowingly count invalid votes or refuse to count valid votes.

In 2017, the Governor signed Senate Bill 5, which increased the penalty for election workers who knowingly permit noncitizens and other ineligible persons to vote.

City of Cuero Announces Utility Rate Increase in Line with National Trends

City of Cuero Announces Utility Rate Increase in Line with National Trends

News Release

Cuero, TX – The City Council of Cuero, Texas, has proposed an increase in utility rates through Ordinance No. 2024-24 which had its first reading during a regular City Council meeting August 12, 2024.  The new schedule of electric rates is set to go into effect on October 1, 2024.

City Manager Wayne Berger emphasized the importance of this amendment, stating, “The existing electric schedule of rates needs revision to better serve the citizens of Cuero.” After careful review and deliberation, the City Council adopted the amended schedule of new electric rates.

This proposed increase comes at a time when the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) expects U.S. residential electricity prices to increase by about 1% in 2024, the slowest rate of year-over-year growth since 2020. The decline in natural gas prices since late 2023 has contributed to this slower growth, as lower natural gas prices are now being factored into retail electricity rates. Natural gas, which provides the largest share of U.S. electricity generation, has seen falling prices, resulting in lower costs of producing electricity.

Electricity prices in Texas are influenced by several factors, including the cost of generating electricity, transmission, and distribution infrastructure expenses, weather conditions, fuel prices (such as natural gas), and regulatory policies. Additionally, the Texas electricity market is deregulated, allowing consumers to choose their electricity providers with the exception of cities such as Cuero that own and regulate their own utilities and are exempt from deregulation but have the power to opt in.

The City of Cuero provides electrical service to its citizens and regulates the electric distribution under the provisions of the City’s Code of Ordinances.

With increasing investments in education, innovation, and workforce training, we continue to build a bigger, better Texas for all.”

  • According to the Texas Workforce Commission, there are more than half a million job listings in the state. Job seekers are invited to explore opportunities at WorkInTexas.com.

Governor Abbott also recently championed the unique business opportunities that continue to attract companies to Texas during a fireside chat for the Portland Chamber of Commerce.

Cuero Regional Hospital is Nationally Recognized for its Commitment to Providing High-quality Stroke Care

The American Heart Association presents Get With The Guidelines® – Stroke Gold Plus award for proven dedication to ensuring all stroke patients have access to best practices and life-saving care

Cuero Texas, 2024 — Cuero Regional Hospital has received the American Heart Association’s Get With The Guidelines® – Stroke Gold Plus quality achievement award for its commitment to ensuring stroke patients receive the most appropriate treatment according to nationally recognized, research-based guidelines, ultimately leading to more lives saved and reduced disability.

Stroke is the No. 5 cause of death and a leading cause of disability in the U.S. A stroke occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain is either blocked by a clot or bursts. When that happens, part of the brain cannot get the blood and oxygen it needs, so brain cells die. Early stroke detection and treatment are key to improving survival, minimizing disability and accelerating recovery times.

Get With The Guidelines puts the expertise of the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association to work for hospitals nationwide, helping ensure patient care is aligned with the latest research- and evidence-based guidelines. Get With The Guidelines – Stroke is an in-hospital program for improving stroke care by promoting consistent adherence to these guidelines, which can minimize the long-term effects of a stroke and even prevent death.

“Cuero Regional Hospital is committed to improving patient care by adhering to the latest treatment guidelines,” Kelsey Kelley, BSN, RN, Emergency Department Director and Stroke Coordinator at Cuero Regional Hospital. “Get With The Guidelines makes it easier for our teams to put proven knowledge and guidelines to work on a daily basis, which studies show can help patients recover better. The end goal is to ensure more people in Cuero can experience longer, healthier lives.”

Each year, program participants qualify for the award by demonstrating how their organization has committed to providing quality care for stroke patients. In addition to following treatment guidelines, Get With The Guidelines participants also educate patients to help them manage their health and recovery at home.

“We are incredibly pleased to recognize Cuero Regional Hospital for its commitment to caring for patients with stroke,” said Steven Messe, M.D., volunteer chairperson of the American Heart Association Stroke System of Care Advisory Group and professor of neurology and director of fellowships of neurology at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. “Participation in Get With The Guidelines is associated with improved patient outcomes, fewer readmissions and lower mortality rates – a win for health care systems, families and communities.”
