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.”

But I know that the Democrats will rue the day that they decided to be the first to ACT on what they claim is a contested election.

Ok Nancy you can have the Iowa race and trump can go back to the White House we got a deal?
Is that how government works?
I didn’t learn that.
She has bigger ‘nads than race bannon, err, I mean Pence. But then the Supreme Court just upheld all the voter fraud by refusing to hear arguments, why wouldn’t she?
They’re getting pretty bold in their openness to commit fraud these days. It’s almost as if they know they can get away with every bit of it.
They own PravdABDNC so they can do whatever they want.
Why does Nanzi hate Iowans?
Democrats cut 36 billion in Medicare in the new bill. The GOP should mention that. I wait with bated breath.
Guess where I am praying for an asteroid strike.
Exactly! They can do what ever they want to. What the hell is anyone going to do about it? I’ll tell you what, NOTHING!
We’ve seen a lot of that in the past few months.....I wouldn’t be surprised...........grrrrr
Of course. As a wise man said, “the left won the culture war. Now they’re going around shooting the survivors.”
Article 1 Section 5 says that “Each House shall be the judge of the Elections, Returns and Qualifications of its own Members...”
Since Nancy and the dems have the majority, they can do whatever they want. There is no appeal to the courts since the Constitution explicitly grants them this power.

after killing off so many seniors, they figger they can use that money for their pet illegal aliens....
It is my understanding that the majority can be the judge of elections before the candidate is seated. Once the candidate is seated, it takes 2/3 majority to remove the House of Representative.
