Initially, Canseco (pictured) had called for an investigation into the election, saying some voting irregularities had been found in Medina County.
On Friday, Canseco said in a press release that "while there is no doubt there were improperly counted votes, and improperly cast ballots, a full investigation and recount would be prohibitively expensive and time consuming."
Gallego has yet to issue a statement.
