GOP’s Miller-Meeks Wins Iowa-2 Cliffhanger by 6 Votes
Newsmax ^ | November 29, 2020 | John Gizzi

Posted on 11/29/2020 4:38:50 PM PST by FarmersareHeroes

The fourth time proved to be the charm for Mariannette Miller-Meeks, as the conservative from Iowa's 2nd District will go to Congress after three losses — and by a margin of 6 votes out of more than 394,000 cast. The recount of the nation's closest House race came Saturday, as the last of 24 counties in the 2nd District to submit a final count did so. Results from Clinton County were finalized late Saturday afternoon and did nothing to affect the 6-vote advantage Miller-Meeks had over Democrat Rita Hart (who owns a farm in Clinton and represented it in the state senate). "I expect a certification tomorrow [Monday]," Miller-Meeks told Newsmax on Sunday morning. "And my opponent then has two days to file a suit, which I have no doubt she will. The national [Democrat] party will be behind her doing this, I'm sure." But Miller-Meeks also voiced confidence, "I will be declared the winner and take my seat in the House in January." Certification will be made by the Executive Council, Iowa's term for its six top elected officials statewide: the governor, secretary of state, secretary of agriculture, attorney general, treasurer, and auditor. Miller-Meeks, 65, is a physician, U.S. Army Reserve colonel, and state senator. Since 2010, she made three successive (and unsuccessful) races against Rep. Dave Loebseck, D-Iowa. With Loebseck's retirement this year, Miller-Meeks finally made it to Congress. John Gizzi is chief political columnist and White House correspondent for Newsmax.

It’s not over yet. The Dem couldn’t scrape up quite enough bogus votes to win, so she will file suit. They never give up.

Which goes to show why the DemoNaziCommies are promoting a republican voter boycott of the Georgia senate runoffs

I'll bet everything I own that Bella Pelosi refuses to seat her.IIRC the Speaker has that authority...perhaps after a vote of the entire House.

Remember,folks...you heard it here first.

What kind of lunatic would file a lawsuit after losing an election?

They had a recount so the margin should stand.

She’s riding a loose thread on the coattail without a coat.

Just think, the rats could have won this had they enlisted the aid of just one more cemetery.

The Iowa district was preventing poll watchers from observing and inspecting all the incoming ballots from both parties, unlike in the 6 Rat cities across the nation.

What do you bet Nancy will refuse to seat her? I’d give odds.

One more recount and the DemonRATS will win by several thousand votes.

That makes it 27-20-3 if the election goes to the House.

Yeah, I’ll believe it’s truly over when the Democrat concedes and the Republican goes to DC.
