Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi might as well have declared, “I am the Congress” with her latest remarks about the Iowa House seat that’s become another ‘stop the steal’ story for the 2020 cycle. She pretty much said she has the right to seat or unseat members of the House of Representatives regardless of the election result. The empress has spoken. Also, a tad creepy, huh?
Iowa’s second congressional district race ended with Republican Mariannette Miller-Meeks winning by literally a handful of votes. She was certified. She was seated, but her Democratic opponents, Rita Hart, wants the certification overturned (via NPR):
The House Administration Committee is reviewing a challenge brought by defeated Iowa Democrat Rita Hart against freshman Republican Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, who won the race by just six votes.
Attorneys for the two candidates submitted initial legal briefs to the panel on Monday. In a terse 23-page brief, Miller-Meeks' counsel broadly denied Hart's claims and said the burden was on Hart to prove that a state-certified election should be overturned.
[…]
Hart's team alleges that there are 22 ballots that should have been counted in the election and that if they had, she would have won by nine votes. Hart's campaign has cited examples including five absentee ballots cast in her favor that were not counted because they were not properly sealed. However, the race was certified by the Iowa State Board of Canvassers — with bipartisan support — after a full recount.
Guy and Cortney have both covered this story. Luckily, it seems more and more Democrats are coming to the realization that continuing these antics isn’t good for the country or their supposed position on maintaining election integrity, which is already laughable. It’s not good politics for sure (via WSJ):
More House Democrats are expressing concern over potentially having to vote later this year on whether to overturn a Republican congresswoman’s razor-thin victory in Iowa.
The House Administration Committee opted on party lines earlier this month to review a challenge from Democratic candidate Rita Hart disputing her loss by six votes to GOP Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks. The Iowa State Board of Canvassers certified Ms. Miller-Meeks’s narrow win following a recount of the full district. But the legal team of Ms. Hart, who is challenging the results under the Federal Contested Elections Act, said there are 22 valid ballots that were never counted, which could reverse the outcome.
Some House Democrats have recently shared their concerns with Democratic leaders over having to potentially vote to overturn a state-certified election in Iowa and conveyed to them that they might not have enough votes to prevail, according to lawmakers and aides. Democrats currently hold a narrow 219-211 majority and can lose no more than three votes on measures opposed by all Republicans.
[…]
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) said Thursday it was Ms. Hart’s right to contest her narrow loss.
“If you had lost a race by six votes, wouldn’t you like to say ‘there must be some way that we can count this?’” she said to reporters. “We are obligated under federal law to follow the process and the facts.”
Remember, she’s God-queen of the House. She can unseat all who defy her. Not really, but in her mind, she thinks so.
She is just showing the world....she does not care if they win legally or have to cheat and steal it (by fraud or force).............they will do what ever that have to do to win
Nancy represents her district.
She doesn’t represent Iowa.
She doesn’t represent the entire US.
She throws crap like this out as a smokescreen to cover her stealing.
Rather then being impressed with Pelosi’s mendacity, I would be looking at how many states with GOP governor’s have Democratic senators with poor health, advanced age, or dangerous hobbies. Because absent that, we have at least 2 years of a free for all in Washington. One additional Democrat in the House, while it would be a crime in these circumstances, will not change things. We need that which changes the game and that’s in the Senate, and one seat helps, a lot.

"The object of power is power"..
Orwell
Pelosi at a young age learned how to win politically! There is no secret!
What do you think is on Randy Jack/John's horny mind? Yes that is Pelosi at a White House function.
She looks like every other Mafia Princess.
She should hang for her “relationship with the US Postal system.”
She looks like every other Mafia Princess.
Those of us who spent a lot of time in Chicago and/or the East Coast would agree with you.
Yes, Pelosi represents her district and that district (San Francisco) is probably the least representative district of the United States. Crap on the sidewalks, crime out of control, aggressive homeless people who live on the street in front of the best restaurants, BART stations that smell of urine, destruction of school names of The Founders and victorious generals. This is what we get with a “leader” like that.
Big story in the Gannett “Newspapers” in Upstate NY that they are blasting the Elections Commissioners in Oneida County in an effort to eventually overturn the election of Claudia Tenney to the NY 22nd seat. Watch for Nanzi action on that seat, too.
She looks nuts there, too.
I would assume Ms Hart and Pelosi have both been BANNED from ALL Social Media for this Attack on our Elections and promoting wild conspiracy theories that the LOSER really WON???
Julius Caesar didn’t overthrow the republic.
It had grown so corrupt that it died of natural causes and old age.
Romans were tired of Gauls and Goths and Persians and Egyptians threatening them and Caesar kicked their butts - for which the Senate was trying to hang him.
The people overthrew the republic which had grown weak, senile and self destructive, not Caesar, and they did it by simply withdrawing their support for the patricians (elites) of the Senate.
Like Napoleon would later do with the Ancient Regime when he sent in the Guard to chase the senescent government of the Directory out of the “People’s House”.
The current US government is dead and beginning to rot.
It needs burial.
She looks nuts there, too, and scary!
Nancy is already living the Communist Dictatorship she dreams of
Nancy doesn’t even represent the drunken whores of this nation! Take that!
You have noticed those patterns too, eh?
