Cruz Calls for Investigation in Mississippi Runoff

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) argued that the allegations of voter fraud in the Mississippi Senate runoff between Thad Cochran and Chris McDaniel in an interview on Monday’s “Mark Levin Show.” 

“What the D.C. machine did was not try to grow the party, instead, the ads that they ran were racially charged, false attacks and they were explicit promises to continue and expand the welfare state, and nobody has suggested that the Democrats who voted in the primary will actually vote Republican in the general election,” Cruz said.  “Instead, they were just recruited to decide who the Republican nominee was, and that’s unprincipled and it’s wrong. But even more troubling Mark, in the past week or so, we have seen serious allegations of voter fraud, and I very much hope that no Republican was involved in voter fraud.  But these allegations need to be vigorously investigated, and anyone involved in criminal conduct should be prosecuted. The voters of Mississippi deserve to know the truth.”
