Miller-Meeks’ victory elevates hopes of stalling aggressive pro-abortion legislative objectives in the Democrat-controlled House by increasing the gains of the GOP to now 10 total seats.
December 2, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – By a narrow margin of only six votes, another pro-life female won election to a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives serving Iowa’s second district.
After three failed attempts to defeat Democrat incumbent Dave Loebseck from 2010 to 2014, Republican Mariannette Miller-Meeks has now succeeded him, following his retirement, in defeating Democratic candidate Rita Hart. The district race was certified on Monday with a final tally of 196,964 to 196,958, according to Catholic News Agency. The minuscule margin by which Miller-Meeks won underscores just how close 2020 elections were in much of the country.
Miller-Meeks’ victory elevates hopes of stalling aggressive pro-abortion legislative objectives in the Democrat-controlled House by increasing the gains of the GOP to now 10 total seats.
Further, Miller-Meeks, a physician and U.S. Army Reserve colonel, is the 18th new woman who was supported by the pro-life Susan B. Anthony List (SBA List) to be elected to the House this fall. These new members will be joining 11 returning pro-life women incumbents.
In celebration, SBA List President Marjorie Dannenfelser said, “A record 29 pro-life women will serve in the House of Representatives in the next Congress: continued proof that life is winning in America.”
These “pro-life champions will serve as a brick wall against the radical pro-abortion agenda of Speaker (Nancy) Pelosi,” she said.
While the outcome of the presidential race remains uncertain, Democrats have gained at least one seat in the U.S. Senate, but have lost ground in the House, though still maintaining control of the chamber. “Of the 18 newly-elected (pro-life) women,” SBA List explained, “10 have flipped seats formerly held by pro-abortion Democrats.”
As CNA reported, Pelosi suggested that “House Democrats could see double-digit gains in the elections, the reverse has proven to be the case.”
One more race in upstate New York’s 22nd district has yet to be certified. As of Wednesday, the margin of victory for pro-life Republican candidate Claudia Tenney is just 12 votes over Democratic incumbent Anthony Brindisi, with 809 ballots remaining in dispute.
While Pelosi has announced plans to repeal the Hyde Amendment next year, which prevents federal tax dollars from funding abortions, it remains unclear if, with a reduced majority, the Democrats will be able to fulfill this promise. They have also planned to write transgender conformity into federal law by passing the Equality Act, which would recognize sexual orientation and so-called gender identity as protected legal classes.
Senate Republicans currently hold 50 seats in the Senate, and two January 5 runoff elections for both seats in Georgia will determine if they can clinch control of the chamber with at least one victory. If they are able to do so, they may be in a position to stop any attempted repeal of the Hyde Amendment, or the imposition of the Equality Act, from the House.
Too much light on the Vote Manufacturing Party to throw this one their way by 7 votes?
What is the current tally including this win?
Last I checked, it was 222(Dem) and 211(GOP).
Don’t worry, they’ll find a box of dem ballots somewhere.
I think a large number of emergency ballots are being flown in from the printer in China - the Democrats won’t stop until there are more votes than voters.
Ping
Why would they stop there?
More evidence of just how correct Fox News “election director” Arnon Mishkin was early on Election Night when he 1) called Arizona for Biden with almost no votes in when Biden was only able to steal the state by .3 of a percentage point; and 2) called the House for the Dems with the mountain and west coast states polls still open and said Pelosi would expand her margin - the Rs have won 17 seats by my calculation. Just when is Fox News going to apologize for the hiring of Arnon Mishkin?
My calculation shows GOP 13 seat gain with only NY-22 still battling
GOP leads by 12 votes as dems sift rejected ballots for more votes
Still trying to steal NY-22 locally. Why not, the local theft has netted them over 20k since election night, whereas Iowas only netted them a couple hundred. This move by Hart is reminiscent of how they Dems stole a seat for Frank McCloskey in IN-8 back in 1984. GOP was verbally irate but didn’t ‘do’ anything of note in response. GOP had chances to pay back when B1 Bob Dornan’s House seat was stolen and when Franken stole a MN Senate seat. But did nothing. So there’s currently no reason why Pelosi wouldn’t think she could get away with stealing IA-2, NY-22 or more. I wrote Sen Grassley and Ernst about how they could give Pelosi second thoughts. Announce the Senate was going to look at MI and AZ Senate race fraud before seating anyone. And consider looking at GA after the s=ra If they won’t protect Trump maybe they’ll protect their own club. Other Freepers in states with GOP senators can do the same.
The Trump vote exceeded their projections so their pre-planned steal margins nearly fell short.
They aren’t done trying to steal it, the bitch that lost will ask Pelosi to seat her (yes, they can do that, each House judges it’s own elections). In 1984 a rat that lost reelection (Frank McCloskey, Indiana) got the rat House to seat him after conducting a sham recount of the votes.
McConnell needs to seat god damn John James.
The statements are since Millar Meeks is a conservative Republican, she does not deserve to be seated
