House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) says Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-Iowa), the certified winner of her race, may be ousted and replaced by the loser: Democrat Rita Hart.
"Let me point out that the claimed margin of victory was six votes out of more than 400,000 votes cast," Pelosi argued. "Statistically, the race was essentially a tie. Now, the Constitution gives each House of Congress the authority to judge the elections, returns, and qualifications of its own members. If a majority of the House feels that Ms. Hart would better represent the interests of the people of Iowa we are within our rights to overturn the certified election results."
"The argument that officials in Iowa certified Ms. Miller-Meeks as the winner does not decide the issue," the Speaker said. "Corrupt local election officials have been known to certify the wrong candidate as the winner of a race that the candidate actually lost. Ms. Hart contends that there were still other votes that could have been counted that might have given her the majority. As a matter of principle, we Democrats have always insisted that all the votes be counted. It has always been the Republicans who want to limit the counting to some lesser number by alleging that some votes were cast by ineligible voters. Frankly, I don't understand the concept of a so-called ineligible voter. Voting is a human right. Unless the votes Republicans want to ignore were cast by apes I don't see how they can not be counted."
Not every Democrat is comfortable with Pelosi's position on this issue. Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich) says " I cannot support overturning an election, that has been certified by Iowa election officials. While I agree that voting is a human right I also think it is important that there be only one vote per voter. ID checks are part of the process to ensure this. By checking IDs we can eliminate multiple votes by the same person, votes cast in the name of persons long deceased, and votes cast using fictitious names."
Pelosi acknowledged that "others, like Rep. Slotkin may not share my views, but let me remind them that I am the Speaker. I decide who gets the plum committee assignments and whose bills will be heard in these committees. Those who go along, get along. Those who chart an independent course may have to be satisfied with a clear conscience, but they will not reap the rewards of being a team player."

Why should there be any Republicans in the house?
The ‘Rats should unseat the rest of them. Clearly, the ‘Rats won the 11/3 elections (one way or another). Any Republicans that seemingly won their seats must of cheated to do so.

“Let me point out that the claimed margin of victory was six votes out of more than 400,000 votes cast,” Pelosi argued. “Statistically, the race was essentially a tie.”
So the new Democrat mantra is “Every vote counts . . . except those six that make up the margin of victory.”
I’m willing to bet that back in the day if there was a fifth recount in Florida that put Gore six votes over Bush, recounting would have stopped and that race would have been over. Any takers?

They just hate it when they cheat and loose. You would think she would keep her mouth shut.
