Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said in a statement on Tuesday that media outlets do not certify election outcomes, and signaled his support for processes to ensure the integrity of the elections in the United States.
“Democracy depends upon fair and open elections. We all agree that every legal vote counts and that illegal votes do not,” Abbott, a Republican, told ABC affiliate KTRK in a statement. “There are processes in place in each state to determine if any vote is legal, and we must respect those processes to ensure the integrity of our elections.”
