A top Democrat on Tuesday threatened not to seat the Republican winner in a closely contested North Carolina House race when the new Congress takes power in January, citing allegations of "serious fraudulent activity" involving possible ballot harvesting.
State election officials unanimously refused to certify the results of the race on Friday and may call for a new election, potentially erasing what is now unofficially a 905-vote lead by Republican Mark Harris over Democrat Dan McCready in the fight for the 9th Congressional District. The margin is less than half a percentage point of total votes cast.
Incoming Majority Leader Rep. Steny Hoyer, D-Md., said Tuesday that a "very substantial question" about fraud hangs over the race for a seat Republicans have held since 1963.
"The House ... has the authority over the propriety of the election," Hoyer said. "This is a very substantial question. [It] ought to be resolved before we seat any member."

CA Dems: Harvesting for me, but not for thee!
Before the Republicans hands over the gavel, they should not seat about 40 dems.
If the GOP is smart, they won’t “seat” one of the commie ‘RAT bastards who “won” this year. They’re all crooks.
If they go there, go nuclear and shine that light on all the election fraud.
“If they go there, go nuclear and shine that light on all the election fraud.”
If the GOP had balls, I’d be excited that something will be done. Sadly, they will wimper away and sweep it under the rug.
Hey!!! Just a minute here. I live in California’s 39th district. I just lost my final connection to the federal government due to vote harvesting. So did 8 other districts in California. They were all Republican districts until Dems started harvesting votes “after” the election was over. Are they going to not seat those 8 socialist Democrat reps?
Every seat that the DemonRATs recounted until they won should be thoroughly investigated before that member is seated.
A two-year utterly baseless "Russian collusion" special counsel investigation into PDJT, when there's ample evidence his opponent was actually doing the colluding; now "election harvesting" allegations are leveled at THE REPUBLICANS just weeks after Democrats stole several congressional seats.
It's classic Alinsky--accuse your adversary of that which you are doing.
And why not?
The Democrats apparently have nothing to lose.
YES!
However they will never do that because they are all crooks.
I think their objection is that they did not get to harvest enough votes for the Democrat to win.
Gutless, scum sucking, pant wetting, repubtards - where are they as usual? Lined up and bent over.
Looks like nobody from California will be seated it they stick to that rule.
Leslie McCrae Dowless Jr. needs a thorough vetting.
They're politicians ... they're neither men, nor honourable.
How long will it take the oft kicked dog to bite?
Hey, Paul Ryan....Mitch McConnell.....THIS IS HOW YA PLAY HARDBALL!!!!
This is how you conduct war. The Rats stole races all over the country and it was obvious so they go on offense. As usual the GOP brings marshmallows to a gun fight.
Since the Dems control the House, that can’t happen in that chamber.
But if for every GOPer not seated in the House, we don’t seat one Dem in the Senate, I’m good with that.
Don’t seat two GOPers in the House and we won’t seat Tester and Taliban Barbie. Totally cool with that trade!
