SEDITION: Losing Democrat House Candidate Demands That Democratic House Invalidate The Election and Seat The Losing Candidate Instead of the Winning One
Oh wait, it's not sedition. It's Just a Democrat (TM).
How bloody-minded will Democrats be with their precariously thin House majority? We're about to find out as Speaker Nancy Pelosi's caucus considers an election challenge from Iowa’s 2nd Congressional district.
On Nov. 30, Iowa certified Republican candidate Mariannette Miller-Meeks the winner of the district, which extends southeast of Des Moines and is currently held by a Democrat. The margin was six votes.
On Tuesday Democrat Rita Hart submitted a brief asking the House of Representatives to overturn that outcome. Authored by Democratic election lawyer Marc Elias, it says counting 22 mostly absentee ballots would give Ms. Hart a nine-vote lead. The brief asks the House to order another recount and use its constitutional authority to seat Ms. Hart instead.
