House continues investigation challenging Republican win in Iowa

A challenge to Iowa's 2nd congressional district race continues in the House, as Democrat Rita Hart challenges Republican Representative Mariannette Miller-Meeks' six-vote victory. Miller-Meeks was seated after Iowa's secretary of state certified the election. 

In new briefs filed Tuesday, Miller-Meeks' attorneys argued the case should be immediately dismissed, while Hart argued the House Administration Committee considering the case should take into account ballots excluded due to poll worker or envelope errors.  It's a contest that some GOP critics, including Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, say is reminiscent of former President Trump and other Republicans' claims of a stolen election. Raffesnperger has sent a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senator Jon Ossoff and Senator Rafael Warnock, pointing to the recent elections in Georgia and threats election workers have faced and saying that overriding the election would be "unconscionable."
