Of all 143 Republican candidates for Congress in Texas, only 13 reportedly said the results of the 2020 election and President Biden’s victory were legitimate.

The Houston Chronicle reported that a poll of the candidates and searches of their campaign websites and social media pages showed that 86 of the candidates had discernible stances, and 42 said the 2020 election was stolen, had illegitimate results or that they would not have certified the results.

Eleven candidates said that there was enough fraud or irregularities to cast doubt on the election results, according to the newspaper.

Thirteen said the results were legitimate.

Statements about the 2020 election have served as a possible way of measuring a candidate’s loyalty to former President Trump, who has repeated false claims of election fraud since losing his reelection bid, the Chronicle noted.
