Just out of curiosity... if after all votes are counted Homman actually won... would the other guy have to quit the house since he has already been sworn in? How does that work? and why would they swear in someone when the votes were not finished being counted? and the election certified?

Read the complete article. He wasn’t the winner therefore he was NOT elected by his district...swearing in means nothing if Hoffman is named the winner by his state.

Owens was never certified by the state, he should have never been sworn in to begin with, no way his votes could stand it it turns out Hoffman is certified the winner.

Remember, Democrats don’t have to play by the rules.

Pelosi is not required to accept the winner of a House seat.

The election has not been certified, Owens should not have been sworn in. If Hoffman winds up the winner and the election is then certified Owens will have to step down, whether the dimwits like it or not.

The article said Owens would be removed if Hoffman actually won.
