it's fox and Abbott; hardly reliable sources on this. May as well quote Kobach.
Keep digging. I'm sure you'll find the other 2,999,900 votes one day
I'm sure this will get the same press coverage
TEXAS ADMITS ERRORS IN ILLEGAL VOTER REPORT OF 95,000, CLAIMS IT’S NOW MUCH LOWER

As the list began circulating around Texas' 254 counties, red flags popped up on those who were flagged. One by one, and then by the hundreds, and then thousands, the original number began dwindling.
The governor disregarded the inaccuracy, but still called for a quick correction to the state’s voting rolls.
“This is what you would categorize as a process, a work [in progress]," Abbott said reports the Texas Tribune. "They’ll get it right, but I do want to be emphatic: It is essential that the secretary of state, [the Department of Public Safety], counties, anybody with any authority over this whatsoever work collaboratively and swiftly together to make sure our voter rolls are accurate, to ensure integrity in the election process.”
At a news conference Thursday, Abbott acknowledged the original list of 95,000 as a “weak match,” and that state officials will continue to work removing those who don’t have “legal authority” to vote.
"They were clear that it was a weak match, and they were reaching out to counties saying, ‘Listen, this isn’t a hard-and-fast list," Abbott said. "This is a list that we need to work on together to make sure that those who do not have the legal authority to vote are not going to be able to vote."
The errant report could have resulted in massive erasure of names from voting rolls, especially in larger communities. In Houston, the original report called for the removal of about 18,000 voters. The new report is only 40 percent of that number.
In Williamson County, an affluent suburb north of Austin, voting officials were told to remove 2,033 names, but it has since been cut in half as those voters were identified as naturalized citizens.
In Waco, the entire list of 366 voters was tossed out because none of their citizenship statuses were actually in question.
Doc had but three redeeming traits. One was his courage; he was afraid of nothing on Earth. The second was the one commendable principal in his code of life, sterling loyalty to friends. The third was his affection for Wyatt Earp.

Inaccurate claims of noncitizen voting in Texas reflect a growing trend in Republican states
Local officials in Texas quickly realized many of the names they were sent belonged to naturalized citizens. El Paso’s list included a woman who works at the elections office and whose colleagues threw her a naturalization party at the office when she became a citizen in 2017, the Texas Tribune reported last week.
In Galveston, election administrators removed duplicates before sending a first batch of letters to 92 of the approximately 830 people listed as noncitizens. Then the Secretary of State’s office called to tell them there were problems with the list. It turned out 64 of those 92 voters were citizens.
That story played out in counties across Texas, with state officials calling the county election administration to remove thousands of names from the original list. McLennan County, home to Waco, was told to disregard all 366 names originally sent. How many suspected noncitizen voters remain on the statewide list is unknown.
