Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-Iowa) spoke out against efforts by Democrats to overturn her win in the state of Iowa.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview on Sunday, Miller-Meeks took aim at her defeated Democrat opponent Rita Hart (D) for trying to flip the results in her favor and disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of voters.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">In Iowa, the votes were counted, recounted, and in some cases \u2013 recounted again.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Rita Hart is asking democrat politicians in DC to elect her because the voters of Iowa did not.<\/p>\n<p>Help us stop this attack on Iowa\u2019s free and fair elections! <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/IA02?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#IA02<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/MhNTaR5cJ5\">https:\/\/t.co\/MhNTaR5cJ5<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Dr. Miller-Meeks (@millermeeks) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/millermeeks\/status\/1369731598988541954?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 10, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Hart has reportedly requested the help of lawmakers on Capitol Hill, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), who has supported the idea.<\/p>\n<p>Miller-Meeks ultimately won by six votes but Hart said that nearly two dozen Democrat ballots, which were deemed illegitimate, should have been counted.<\/p>\n<p>Miller-Meeks said this sets a dangerous precedent moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s hypocrisy and it sets a bad precedent because if Congress is going to overturn elections, then what hope is there for any of us? It\u2019s not just an Iowa thing. It\u2019s not about me personally,\u201d Miller-Meeks stated. \u201cThis has ramifications for all of us and in every state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pelosi has come under immense scrutiny for her double standards on election integrity.<\/p>\n<p>The congresswoman also called out Hart\u2019s decision to skip Iowa\u2019s lower courts and bypass due process.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/gop-leaders-call-out-biden-for-mismanagement-of-southern-border\/\">GOP Leaders Call Out Biden For Mismanagement Of Southern Border<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FILE \u2013 In this Oct. 8, 2020, file photo, Mariannette Miller-Meeks answered a question during a debate with Rita Hart in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
