The Texas GOP adopted the 40-page platform at its biennial conference in Houston, which ended this weekend. “We reject the validated results of the 2020 presidential election and believe that incumbent President Joseph Robinett Biden Jr. was not legally elected by the people of the United States,” the platform said. James Wesolek, communications director at the Texas GOP, told The Hill that the resolution was passed by a vote of no confidence. The platform claims that “significant electoral fraud in key metropolitan areas” affected the results in five states, swaying the Biden election. The party also claimed that various foreign secretaries, who serve as the top electoral officials in many states, were “illegally bypassing” the state legislatures, committing constitutional violations. “We strongly urge all Republicans to work to ensure electoral integrity and to turn out to vote in November 2022, to bring your friends and family, to volunteer for local Republicans, and to fight any possible fraud.” the platform. There is no evidence of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election, and a coalition of top federal and state election officials said the contest was the “safest” election in American history. Several counts and checks have also confirmed that former President Trump lost many key states, but Trump has repeatedly made baseless allegations of voter fraud. The passage of the platform comes amid a series of public hearings held by the select committee of Parliament to investigate the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021. The commission sought to link Trump’s allegations of voter fraud to an uprising that halted the vote count. The committee testified at the second hearing, revealing that many members of Trump’s inner circle did not believe he had won the election. Republicans in state governments across the country have pushed legislation to restrict ballot access in the aftermath of the 2020 race, as Trump-affiliated candidates continue to claim that widespread fraud marked the election.
