Marianette Miller-Meeks (R) beat out Rita Hart by a total of six votes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust weeks after blasting Donald Trump for trying to overturn the Electoral College, House Democrats are about to try to reverse the outcome of a House election in Iowa to pad their slim majority by an extra seat,\u201d Politico reported. \u201cThe Iowa case could become the fourth. Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), who chairs the Administration panel that will adjudicate the first part of this case \u2014 and is a longtime ally of Speaker Nancy Pelosi \u2014 has said her panel members are keeping an open mind, that nothing is predetermined and that Hart has the burden of proof.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Politico reported that a source informed them that the effort has \u201cbeen blessed by the top echelons of House Democratic leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDemocrats maintain that the House Admin\u2019s rulings and the motivations of the DCCC are two different things \u2014 but it would be politically naive to believe that. The judge in this case is essentially the prosecutor \u2014 and yes, this is totally allowed under the Constitution,\u201d the report added. \u201cStill, the flip of the script here is really something to behold. Republicans who followed Trump\u2019s demand that they object to the Electoral College votes, without any proof of fraud, are suddenly calling foul on Hart\u2019s use of Congress to challenge her own election results.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Numerous Democrat lawmakers oppose the effort and some have gone so far as to speak out publicly against it.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Chris Pappas (D-NH) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ChadPergram\/status\/1374163746587828224\">said<\/a>, \u201cThis election result was certified by the State of Iowa and Rep. Miller-Meeks was sworn in nearly three months ago\u2026it\u2019s time to move on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLosing a House election by six votes is painful for Democrats,\u201d Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN) wrote on Twitter. \u201cBut overturning it in the House would be even more painful for America. Just because a majority can, does not mean a majority should.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"9.5719298245614\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Losing a House election by six votes is painful for Democrats.

Lou Correa (D-CA) told CNN. \u201cI think these are issues that right now are probably best left at the state level.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One House Democrats, who wished to remain anonymous, told <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/house\/544390-moderate-dems-warn-leader-against-meddling-in-iowa-race\">The Hill<\/a>, \u201cIt strikes me as remarkably hypocritical and a dangerous precedent at a time we need to be repairing precedents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A second House Democrat told the outlet, \u201cAs painful as it was to lose this election by six votes, and although I sympathize with Rita Hart, the state certified these election results. Upending them at this point would only serve to further divide the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rep. David Prince (D-NC) told Fox News that there was \u201cnot the slightest chance\u201d that the race would be overturned and that he has \u201cconfidence that all sides of that House Administration Committee process are well aware of how sensitive and how difficult this is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
