>> alcindor: republican state
senator bryan hughes co-authored
one of the texas bills, known as
senate bill 7.
what do you say to someone who
thinks that this bill is based
on a lie?
and do you yourself think that
200, the election, was
fraudulent?
>> texas elections in 2020 went
much better than other states,
you can look at the results
here.
we didn't have near the problems
that a number of states had.
>> alcindor: so, do you believe
that the 2020 election was--
was-- was fair with that?
it was that president biden was
legitimately elected?
>> president biden is the
president.
he did not win in texas.
president trump won in texas.
and a lot of people say we're
unhappy about the 2020 election
in texas.
republicans did great in texas
in the 2020 election.
we held the texas house, held
the texas senate, held every
seat in congress.
and so, if we were concerned
about that, this wouldn't even
be an issue.
this is about making the system
better.
we do thisvery time the
legislature...
