If someone broke into your house to steal something, had a change of heart and didn't steal anything you couldn't ask they be charged with theft (doesn't mean they wouldn't still get charged with something else).
They would be charged with burglary a felony and trespassing. Both crimes. If I was home they also would have been arrested or if they resisted and sufficiently threatened me with serious harm, shot.
Ok maybe a bad analogy but I'll stick with it. Fraudulent or invalid votes happen and each state has a process to remove those votes and then certify. Until certification, it's that specific state's responsibility to fix it. TX can't just jump in and claim theft before the other state has finished their certification process. It would be like you catching someone trespassing (even if their intent was to steal) and then trying to get the judge to convict them of theft even though no theft occurred.
