Republican lawmaker won by a mere six votes. Now the questions are emerging on how the fuck did she managed to pull an upset in a race that leaned towards the Democratic.
Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA) is a freshman lawmaker from Ottumwa, Iowa. She is a trained physician and one of the few Republicans in Congress willing to wear a damn mask.
The lawmaker represents the 2nd Congressional District which includes her community, Davenport, Bettendorf, Burlington and Iowa City.
She was a perennial candidate but somehow managed to win against her opponent Rita Hart.
Rita Hart is disputing the white nationalist Mariannette Miller-Meeks' razor close win. |
The House Administration Committee is reviewing a challenge brought by Hart against Mariannette Miller-Meeks.
Attorneys for the two candidates submitted initial legal briefs to the panel on Monday. In a terse 23-page brief, Miller-Meek's counsel broadly denied Hart's claims and said the burden was on Hart to prove that a state-certified election should be overturned.
"We don't have to prove anything at this point, and that's something I think is important to emphasize: The congresswoman has a certificate of election and that demonstrates that she is the winner of the race under Iowa law," Alan Ostergren, an attorney representing Miller-Meeks in the complaint, told reporters on Monday.
Hart's team alleges that there are 22 ballots that should have been counted in the election, and 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.
In a more detailed 71-page brief, Hart's attorney Marc Elias argues that ballots should not have been throw out if the error was the result of election administrators or "circumstances outside the voter's control."
"Contestant Hart initiated this contested election case to vindicate the promise of our democratic system: that the representatives who serve us have been selected by the votes of their constituents, not the errors and caprices of election administrators," the brief states.
This controversy has riled up the House Republicans. They believe that the Democrats are trying to "steal" an election. The same bellows of Washed Up 45.
The two have til March 29 to make their case.
