His confirmation is currently pending before the Texas Senate. Whitley's confirmation may be difficult due to a miscalculation of illegal voters he identified for investigation.[3] Originally from Alice, Texas, Whitley earned his bachelor's degree and Juris Doctor from the University of Texas at Austin.[4] He began working for Greg Abbott in 2004, when he was Attorney General of Texas. As Governor of Texas, Abbott appointed Whitley as Secretary of State to succeed Rolando Pablos, on December 17, 2018.[5] As Secretary of State, Whitley identified 95,000 voters who he claimed were noncitizens and sent the names to county election boards in January 2019. Many of the individuals on the list were found to be valid, and lawsuits were filed to stop the voter purge.[6] Fred Biery, a judge on the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas, blocked the removal.[7] The Senate Committee on Nominations in the Texas Senate advanced Whitley's nomination on a 4–3, party line vote.[8] However, all 12 Democrats in the Texas Senate oppose Whitley's confirmation, which would deny him the two-thirds vote required for confirmation.[9] References1. ^{{cite news |last1=Fine |first1=Julie |title=What Happens Next With Acting Texas Secretary of State |url=https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/politics/HEADLINE-506341251.html |accessdate=February 26, 2019 |work=KXAS-TV |date=February 25, 2019}} {{s-start}}{{s-off}}{{s-bef|before=Rolando Pablos}}{{s-ttl|title=Secretary of State of Texas|years=2018–present}}{{s-inc}}{{s-end}}{{U.S. State Secretaries of State}}{{Texas statewide political officials}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Whitley, David}}{{Texas-politician-stub}}2. ^{{cite news |last1=Ura |first1=Alex |last2=Platoff |first2=Emma |title=All 12 Senate Democrats oppose Texas Secretary of State David Whitley.
