White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Friday the Biden administration stands by House Democrats’ effort to overturn the results of an Iowa House race. After multiple recounts, the race has already been certified by bipartisan state election officials.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi gave her blessing to the House Administration Committee taking up failed candidate Rita Hart’s plea to overturn the results of Iowa’s 2nd Congressional District race captured by freshman Republican Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks by six votes.
“Four Republican senators in a letter to corporations are calling the battle for Democrats to take back the seat, an ‘unacceptable attempt to undermine a legitimate Democratic process,'” a reporter pressed during a White House press briefing. “Does the president agree with their assessment?”
“I believe that the process that is outlined by the House of Representatives is what’s being followed here to ensure every vote is counted, so no, he wouldn’t agree with that,” Psaki said. --->READ MORE HERE
It’s only okay to question an election outcome if you’re a Democrat. Stacey Abrams was exhibit A. Nancy Pelosi is exhibit B.
Earlier this month, the Democratic speaker gave the House Administration Committee her blessing to move forward with a probe into failed candidate Rita Hart’s challenge in Iowa’s 2nd Congressional District. Hart lost the race to freshman Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks by six votes, a result certified by bipartisan state election officials after multiple recounts.
“Well, it was six votes,” Pelosi said on ABC’s “This Week” several days ago, dismissing criticism from Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan, who highlighted Democrats’ double-standards over objecting to election results. “It was six votes and our candidate, Rita Hart… asked for this process to begin. What the committee did, the House Administration Committee, was very narrow to take the process to the next step and see where it goes from there.”
An honest investigation will keep Miller-Meeks in the House. Hart’s appeal, made directly to the partisan lower chamber rather than through state avenues for challenging an election result, rests on 22 ballots the campaign claims were improperly rejected. According to the Democrat’s campaign, Hart would carry the race by nine votes if all were counted. Bipartisan panels of election workers, however, have already scrutinized the ballots in question, and determined their invalidity under Iowa law. --->READ MORE HEREFollow links below to related stories:
