Andrew Giuliani:
We will never know who legitimately won the 2020 election
Giuliani: I certainly have my concerns with the 2020 election.GG: But do you believe that Joe Biden is a legitimate president?
Andrew Giuliani: I believe that we will never know who legitimately won the 2020 election to be perfectly honest, and
that is a big concern. And then if you look back at 2016, at the 2016 election, I think if you were to talk to a lot of Democrats, they would have said they don't know who the legitimate president [is].

Lee Zeldin:
Voted to overturn 2020 presidential election results
In his campaign announcement video, Mr. Zeldin made no mention of Mr. Trump, instead seeking to keep his message focused on quality-of-life concerns and economic matters and lacing into Mr. Cuomo.
But there is no doubt about how deeply he has embraced Mr. Trump and his politics, including by voting to overturn the results of the November election.

Lee Zeldin:
Opposed For the People Act expanding voting rights
I can't believe that Republicans are trying to position the For the People Act of 2021 as partisan. The purpose is to make voting easier for all eligible Americans. It sets up automatic voter registration, ensures early voting, and allows
for "no excuse" mail-in voting. The bill passed the House without any Republican support--with both Long Island congressional Republicans, Andrew Garbarino and Lee Zeldin, voting "no" to making it easier for all eligible Americans to vote.
