Trump, who has repeatedly promoted theories of widespread voter fraud, urged Texas officials to review its election results, "even though I won Texas by a lot."
"I said, 'You should do it because you'll find out what's going on in this country.' It's crazy," he said Saturday night while applauding the "brave and unyielding conservative warriors in the Arizona state Senate" who "created a movement all over the country."
On July 12, lawmakers in Texas's state House filed H.B. 241, known as the "Texas Voter Confidence Act," which would open a legal examination into the 2020 election results.
"We need a forensic audit to uncover all the voter fraud," state Rep. Steve Toth, who filed the legislation, said on Monday. "Prior to the special session, I met with constituents across District 15 in South Montgomery County. The Texas Voter Confidence Act is a product of those meetings and a direct request from the voters who sent me to Austin. Texans want to know more about the claims of voter fraud and deserve to have confidence in their elections."

Toth said the attorney general's office has prosecuted over 500 election fraud cases and is examining 400 more, insisting that "voters want to know that their legal vote counts and matters."

In the months since the GOP-led Arizona Senate opened a forensic audit of the 2020 election results in Maricopa County, Republicans in several other swing states have decided to follow. The former president has endorsed election probes in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, both of which were won narrowly by President Joe Biden last November.

"I hear now that Wisconsin is looking very, very seriously [into the allegations of voter fraud], and I respect Wisconsin so much. It's a great state. They're looking very seriously. Pennsylvania is really starting to take this very seriously," he said on June 26, thanking legislators in both states for their efforts.

"If you look at what's going on all across [the country], they've come from so many different states to look at your audit procedures. They go back, and I'll call them. I'll say, 'How did you like it? What did you think?' They said, 'We don't believe it,' and then, they're starting their own audits now," Trump said Saturday. "That's what's happening. They're coming and looking."
