DES MOINES, Iowa – Only 37 votes now separate State Senator Mariannette Miller-Meeks, R-Ottumwa, from former State Senator Rita Hart, D-Wheatland, in Iowa’s 2nd Congressional District race according to the Iowa Secretary of State’s website.
Kevin Hall, a spokesperson for the Iowa Secretary of State’s office, told The Iowa Torch that the results currently only reflect recounts in 17 of the district’s 24 counties. Appanoose, Cedar, Davis, Decatur, Des Moines, Keokuk, Lee, Louisa, Lucas, Mahaska, Marion, Monroe, Muscatine, Van Buren, Wapello, Washington, and Wayne counties have completed their recount and their results are reflected in the unofficial results. (Update: 21 counties are now complete. Clinton, Johnson, and Scott counties have not completed their recount.)
Jasper County recount results are not yet included in the totals and the Hart campaign said their candidate picked up nine votes. Their recount process is under dispute.
There is disagreement over results provided by a machine that broke down after a machine recount of absentee ballots begun. The Hart campaign said the Miller-Meeks campaign is balking at a process they agreed to.

Figures. I’m so disgusted with all this, and most Americans seem oblivious.

No, the rats win because they keep changing the rules, accepting phony ballots, and counting and recounting until they “win”.

After this election if this went to the House (R)s have 29 state delegations where (R)s hold lower and upper chamber majorities, (D)s have 21. Each State gets 1 vote. (R)s win if it goes to House. No question.
Huh? There's a couple States that have even splits... Last I looked at the numbers, it was 26-22-2 I believe. (This is current House, not the new election.) So still a Repub win, but I'm not sure where you're getting a 29-21 win?

Mkay, I wasn't sure how we did on a by-State level.
And new Congress is sworn in on Jan 3rd, just in time for EC votes to be opened on the 6th.
