The former Wisconsin governor raised concerns over voter irregularities in his state this election cycle in an interview with John Solomon.
He said transparency leads to legitimacy, and without transparency the election is called into question like the country is currently seeing.
"Whether it's putting up plywood or just counting ballots late a night, in the middle of the night when people thought they were going to wait for the next day, all those things I think raise very serious and legitimate questions," Walker said.
Walker says Al Gore fought the 2000 election through the middle of December and there is no legal requirement preventing candidates from doing so. He says the election is determined after the electors cast their votes, not by the media.
"Any candidate, any party, has every legal right to pursue all the legal efforts going forward and that's why I think they need to do it in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia, maybe in Nevada."
