“President Biden is correct,” Hoyer told Politico when asked if he agrees with Biden’s claim last week that the midterms could be “illegitimate” if the federal election overhaul package is not passed. “This is about our Democracy. This is about an America that really believes in making sure that the people’s voice is heard and reflected in the outcome of the election.”…

In a statement to Fox News, Hoyer communications director Margaret Mulkerrin said that Hoyer does not believe the midterm elections will be illegitimate.

“Leader Hoyer shares President Biden’s concern that Republican attempts to methodically exclude millions of voters are deeply alarming, and raise serious questions that people who want to make their voice heard won’t be able to participate,” Mulkerrin said.

“Leader Hoyer does not believe the 2022 election will be illegitimate, nor would he claim ballots ought to be thrown out if a Democrat loses – simply that millions of Americans have been systematically disenfranchised from our democracy by GOP election suppression legislation, and that we ought to take immediate steps to stop it by passing urgently needed measures to protect the right to vote.”
