Rita Hart explains her challenge to overturn the 2nd District elections results, as seen on the Stee

Article from yesterday...

Republican Dr. Mariannette Miller-Meeks will be sworn in Sunday as Iowa's newest Representative in Congress from the 2nd Congressional District.

Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, says it's a provisional seating for now, until the House decides what to do about Democrat Rita Hart's challenge of the Miller-Meeks win.

The Miller-Meeks margin of victory was just 6-votes, making it the closest Congressional race in the country this year. The Iowa Board of Canvass unanimously certified Miller-Meeks as the winner, in a 5-0 vote,

Hart has filed what is known as a 'Notice of Contest' with the U.S. House Administrative Committee. She is trying to overturn the results, claiming there are several legal ballots which were not counted in the 2nd District election.

Hart says there are at least 22 ballots which should count, and that those ballots would give the victory to her, instead of Miller-Meeks.

There is still no winner in the contest between incumbent Anthony Brindisi (D-Utica) and challenger Claudia Tenney, a Republican from New Hartford. Tenney leads by just 29 ballots of 311,695 cast.

The candidates’ attorneys are meeting next week in court to review about 2,500 contested ballots that will determine who won the election. It promises to be a long and tedious process, as a judge rules on what ballots should be counted and which should be tossed.
