Senator Ted Cruz said he was "disappointed" that the Supreme Court dismissed the GOP's Pennsylvania challenge of the election results.

The Pennsylvania case could have blocked the certification of the state's election results on the ground that mail-in voting expansion in the state was illegal, reported Daily Wire.

"I'm disappointed the Court decided not to hear the case challenging the election results in PA," Cruz tweeted.

Cruz said the appeal raised some "important and serious legal issues," which he believed was part of the court's responsibility to look out for in following the law. 

Ted Cruz Alleged Pennsylvania Did Not Follow Own Constitution

Cruz was the first U.S. senator to show public support to Pennsylvania legal challenge, according to Newsmax.

Washington Examiner reported his arguments to the case, which said the election has caused "anger and division" throughout the country.

"Late last year, the Pennsylvania Legislature passed a law that purported to allow universal mail-in voting, notwithstanding the Pennsylvania Constitution's express prohibition," he said in a statement.

He added that a GOP legal team approached him to present oral arguments of the case in court.

Cruz told the legal team he would be happy to represent them, "particularly at a time when this country is so divided when people are so angry."

"I think we need a sense of resolution," he said.

He also said the Pennsylvania suit raised "pure issues of law," adding that the court should take the appeal. 

Ted Cruz Claims Americans Doubt Electoral Process

He noted that many Americans are starting to doubt the election's validity and may believe it was "rigged."

He claimed that 39 percent of Americans follow this belief, adding "that's a real problem for confidence in the integrity of our electoral system."

However, a Maryland Today survey revealed that more Americans said they have faith in the electoral process.

In the poll, the outlet found that Republicans have a high level of faith in the electoral system, with 4.01 on a scale of one to five. Democrats also have high confidence in the system with a score of 3.67. 

Supreme Court's Denial of PA Case Was Unanimous

As earlier reported, the decision not to take up the Pennsylvania case was a unanimous decision among Supreme Court's justices, including newly appointed Justice Amy Coney Barrett.

The court's denial was delivered in only one sentence with no dissents or recusals, reported USA Today.

"The application for injunctive relief presented to Justice Alito and by him referred to the Court is denied," the court order read.

The suit was filed to the high court by Republican Rep. Mike Kelly, who claimed that the Pennsylvania legislature "exceeded its powers."

It was referred to Supreme Court Associate Justice Samuel Alito, who later referred it to the Supreme Court.

After the Supreme Court denial, Pennsylvania's 20 electoral votes may not be granted to President Donald Trump. This leaves him and his team with more legal challenges to overturn the results of the recent election.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed another case against Pennsylvania, and it gained support from 17 other states that said that doubts on the electoral process could "dilute" their own votes.
