Politico needs to check its facts. Following the 1984 elections, Dem Speaker of the House Tip O’Neill refused to seat the state-certified GOP winner of a race (I think it was in Indiana), and instead seated the Democrat loser. The Dem served the full term and was defeated in the next election by the same Republican. I worked on Capitol Hill at the time and remember the basic facts, but can’t recall names — sorry about that, maybe someone with more time can dig out the details . . . .
