20. No there are 2.2 million on the "Suspense" list. Their privilege is not suspended. It's a weird term.

If you are on the Suspense list you can vote if you live in the same county.
The majority of people on the suspense list have moved within Texas.

My son is on the Suspense list. He just bought a newly constructed house (in a nice area) and registered over there and for some reason the mail didn't get to him from the elections dept and it "bounced". He can still vote, but he needs to sign a statement of residency when he votes.

The term "Suspense" is confusing. If you moved to another county, then you are not eligible to vote or you are only eligible to vote on a statewide ballot. If you have moved within the same county, then you can vote using the old address after you fill out a "Statement of Residency". Election workers do not verify the new address. After the election, the elections department will sent a new voter certificate to the new address. If the card does not bounce, the voter is removed from Suspense. Your Suspense is also removed when you vote. So, if you vote and remain on Suspense, it's just a quirk., you can just keep voting. If you don't vote and remain on Suspense for four years, then the voter is removed.
