Ted Cruz and 16 other Texans refused to certify the 2020 election. None would say whether they see it as legitimate today.by Rebekah Allen, Texas Tribune
One year ago, hours after a swarm of Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol and briefly stopped Congress from ratifying the 2020 election results, 17 Texas Republicans voted against certifying Joe Biden as president.
This week, The Texas Tribune reached out to all those members asking if they accept the 2020 election results as legitimate a year later.
None responded.
The mob that day attacked police officers and caused millions of dollars of damage to the historic structure. The lawmakers and staff inside hid in fear for their lives as protesters breached the building carrying zip ties and wearing tactical gear.
