A new report obtained by 1200 WOAI news indicates that illegal immigrants could vote by the hundreds of thousands in Texas and across the country, potentially swaying the election.

"Citizens of the United States would like to see their votes not diluted by those who are in this country illegally," said David Simcox, who studies voter rolls in 11 Texas counties.

Simcox says there are indications that as many as 329,000 non citizens and ineligible voters are on the rolls in Texas.

He says Harris County is the worst, with some 200,000 ineligible voters.

"We ought to sit down and decide..do we want it to stay that way...do we want to sit down and blink at violations of voter registration laws," Simcox said.

But Bexar County Elections Administrator Jackie Callanan disputed Simcox's figures. She says the state has a new database where all voters are cross checked.

"Using their drivers license or the last four digits of their Social Security Number," she said. "Our system is exceptional."

Simcox says the problem of illegal voters is not confined to Texas.

He says there are up to 235,000 illegal voters in New York, up to 113,000 in New Jersey, 209,000 in Illinois, and as many as 700,000 illegal non citizen voters in California.

He estimates that at least 1,830,000 non citizens voted in off year elections in 2006.

Simcox says he consulter several sources in compiling his figures, and he says the real problem is that the votes of citizens are being diluted when non citizens vote.
