Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) told voters in Georgia that anyone who is involved in voter fraud should be jailed and prosecuted.
He added, “Our democracy matters. Our Constitution matters. Our Bill of Rights matters. America matters. And the state of Georgia will rise to defend the United States of America.”
Cruz was in Georgia to rally support for Republican Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, who are vying for two Senate seats against Democratic challengers Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock.
In the runoff election, control of the Senate is at stake. Republicans currently hold a 50-48 edge in the chamber.
“I’m disappointed the Court decided not to hear the case challenging the election results in PA,” Cruz said in a statement on Twitter after the Supreme Court’s decision. “This appeal filed raised important & serious legal issues, & I believe the Court had a responsibility to ensure our elections follow the law & the Constitution.”
