Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Thursday that she was open to a “scenario” in which the Democrat-run House of Representatives would overturn a close Republican win in Iowa’s second congressional district.
Pelosi, addressing reporters during her weekly press conference, was asked whether she could “see a scenario” in which Democrats would unseat Rep. Marianette Miller-Meeks (R-IA), who won by six votes, and replace her with Democrat Rita Hart.
As Breitbart News reported Wednesday, the Committee on House Administration voted along party lines to continue an inquiry into the congressional race — even though Miller-Meeks had been found to be the winner by state authorities following a recount and a bipartisan canvas of the vote.
Hart, who chose not to pursue legal options in Iowa but rather to appeal to the House directly under the Federal Contested Elections Act, claims that there are some 22 ballots that were not counted that show her as the winner.
The Federal Contested Elections Act allows the House to decide close congressional races on its own, beyond the courts.
Hart is represented by Democrat lawyer Marc Elias, who helped fund the fraudulent “Russia dossier” in the 2016 election and was Democrats’ leading lawyer in the 2020 election, suing in several states to overturn exiting election laws and rules.
After resisting the question as “hypothetical,” Pelosi said Thursday: “Well, I respect the work of the committee. I did see, as you saw in the press, what they decided to — and they were following my, as I read it, the requirements of the law as to how you go forward. And how you go forward is the path you’re on and we’ll see where that takes us. But there could be a scenario to that extent. Yes.”

Democrats have done this before, more than once! They are very likely to do this now, in fact I would be surprised if they didn’t.
Pretty sure she will. Once in her domain (it already is ) all voting norms\rules\laws go out the window...
she(The House) has full control...
What? An election that has gone unstolen? We’ll see about that!!
Unfortunately, the GOP will do nothing to stop Chuck and Nancy. They will just pay lip service and do a song and dance to get re-elected.
But, as several Freepers say, vote for them because they are the only ones who can stop the Democrats and we must vote for them this time cause we are at a crossroads.
Just like the battered wife who thinks her husband is going to change this time. Of course he doesn’t and neither will they.
Minority Leader McCarthy: Where are you?
It’s settled law. Nanzi is engaging in election result denial!

Marc Elias ping
Isn’t there a woodchipper in Iowa that needs testing?
How FAR will Pelosi GO to steal an election? About 2,000 miles as I count.
Grabosi and Grabiden.....watta team.
They oughta take their act on the road.
That HAS to be unconstitutional......and Pelosi knows it.
======================================
NOTE WELL---Loser Hart is represented by Democrat Marc Elias; this "unbiased whozits" helped fund
Hillary's 2016 fraudulent “Russia dossier.” Elias was also involved in the long-term plot 2020 election steal scam,
colluding w/ Dems to sue several states to overturn exiting election laws and rules.
He should be disbarred ASAP.
As a lawyer, he knew, or should have known, only states have the prerogative to change election laws.
He and his clients were clearly engaged in election fraud over a considerable period of time.
When you have a “working” majority in both houses and control the autopen in the head-shed, everything is possible.
DC is now operating on Gov. Newsom’s legislative model for managing the California legislature. The picture is not pretty.
I thinks it’s worse than that. From border to DCorder and sea to stinking swamp.
So why don’t they just steal every seat in the House?
She knows nobody will lift a finger to stop her.
Loser Hart wont pursue legal options in Iowa, she’s one of the lucky beneficiaries of Grabosi’s “Federal Contested Elections Act”......
Grabosi’s Act (cough) allows the US House to decide close congressional races on its own, beyond the courts.
That HAS to be unconstitutional......and Pelosi knows it.
Sorry, its Art. I Sec. 5.
Sounds like something Christopher Moltosanti from The Sopranos would say.
