Do you think the House should consider a challenge to Iowa's representative who won a squeaker by six votes?

They have no grounds for the state of Iowa.

Non issue.

You sir, are a banana.

It’s up to that state, not us.

To be perfectly honest, this one goes over my head.
But I am curious as to what your opinion is.

@crazyguy

I’m confused that there is an issue at all.

A white male Republican was enabled, even encouraged, to fight for every vote.

Why would a female Democrat not have the same opportunity?

The severity of false equivalence is staggering.
The difference is not “merely” that in drumpf’s case the result was not close.
The differences are also that he:
– tried to throw out millions of votes based on baseless accusations of “fraud”
– tried to stop the counting of millions of votes when he was temporarily ahead
– tried to pressure election officials into manufacturing additional votes for him in secret phone calls.
– tried to invalidate entire states’ election results by claiming that the election changes they made during the pandemic were “unconstitutional” (which he only tried to do in states where he lost, not in states where he won, but which implemented similar changes
– tried to use his insurrectionist allies in congress to object to, and invalidate, certified state electoral college results, based on the afforementioned baseless accusations of fraud
– tried to pressure the VP into inverting already certified state electoral college results by having him throw out the certified electors, and instead counting fake and self-proclaimed pro-drumpf “electors”.
– incited a terrorist mob into storming the Capitol, stop the certification, and assassinate members of congress.

Whereas in this case, the politician in question is merely asking for a review based on procedural technicalities, and whether a handful of uncounted, lawfully cast votes should be considered in a recount.

20 GA’s @ragingloli !

@ragingloli Thank you for providing the one meaningful answer I have so far.

You point out some significant differences between what happened in the Presidential race and what happened in the Iowa rep race. The so called lawfully cast votes have been scrutinized by election officials and a judge; all Hart is trying to do is get a more sympathetic venue.

Democrats didn’t have a problem with automatic recounts or Trump asking for a recount when a result was close.

Democrats had a problem with false accusations of fraud. A problem with 50 (I don’t know the exact number) bullshit attempts to bring a case to court and then implying all the courts were against Trump and wouldn’t listen to evidence. A problem with Trump calling the election stolen when it simply wasn’t.

I completely support a recount when an election is close, the states have provisions for that. It’s up to the state itself and that’s it.

@JLeslie I agree. Except that has all happened already!

No. She had won twice.

@SnipSnip Who had won twice? They are both she’s.

@crazyguy But only one of them won in both election and recount.
