Iowa Democrat asks House to review 6-vote race, cites errors

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Democrat Rita Hart asked the U.S. House on Tuesday to investigate and overturn the race that Iowa says she lost by six votes, arguing that 22 ballots were wrongly excluded and others weren't examined during the recount.

Mariannette Miller Meeks, the Republican Candidate for the Iowa City/Davenport district of Iowa in the state government won the election by 6 votes. Her democratic challenger, Rita Hart, is appealing to the Iowa Government for a recount and recertification, as well as engaging in Judicial challenges.

It is uncertain if the challenges will prevent Miller Meeks from being seated on the 30th of January as would be normal.

Given what just went down in Pennsylvania, Meeks should not be seated until all challenges are settled. Precedent should be followed consistently and not "whatever benefits my side".

This is something I fully agree in

I mean the Hard Left or the ones ontop, both Corporations, Governments and even the hedonistic disgusting douchebags at Hollywood don’t really believe whatever they preach

I don't think this is true. Oh, I'm sure there are plenty of hypocrites and plenty of people their who think they need to tack left to appease the rest of the cancel crowd, and maybe at least a bit of it is performative for all of them, but there's a lot of it that is actually true sincere belief, and I don't really think that stops at any point as you go up. The upper eschelon may do and believe additional stuff, but if anything that's probably best understood as essentially further left than what's public.

Edit: Also, I guess, for the GOP but not Trump crowd here- I think we're about to see that if they can steal it at 2am from him, they can steal it from 2am from your guys too.

Fair, I think for some even the ones who are hedonistic monsters who secretly visit all sorts of atrocities on those they get their hands on

They actually believe they “deserve” to be able to do that stuff, because they’re “good boys and girls” for all the stuff they supported, regardless of the actual effects

Others have their minds in some ways split in half, as in they sincerely believe they’re doing good and whatever is supported by the mainstream and at least may actually try to be to varying extents “philosopher kings” themselves and just can’t see that they may have screwed up or have accidentally screwed over others and when there’s evidence to the contrary even their heads start shutting down

It maybe how they can give China and other non-Western countries a pass for their actual bigotries

I guess my point is that if you could see inside the head of...idk Weinstein, Polanski, Spacey, etc you would probably find that they all had orthodox liberal views on run of the mill issues like weakness on crime, immigration, or climate change.

If you could look inside Joss Whedon's head, you'd probably find that he considers himself a feminist, is pro-feminism, etc. He probably considers himself a hypocrite or someone who wasn't who he should be.

Sure, everyone I listed here is still scum, and they're all people whose actions are bad for my people. But people like this, and the entities and organizations they run aren't going to flip just because a profit margin tells them to, and that's an important consideration we have to make.

Stop being a known troublemaker.

I just got here.

In regards to the election results in Georgia all I can say is. I told you so, this was going to happen and you Americans are heading for a literal holocaust caused by neglect and abandonment. I fully expect the Democratic oligarchy and their corporate allies to cause the alienation, homelessness and eventual deaths of some three and a half million Americans over the next three years, with another twenty million following over the next fifteen. It's so sad, America had all the tools to legally and peacefully correct this but Republicucks and your average American are just too demoralized and or programmed to be a graceful loser. China will begin to take to the stars while your children get put on HRT. They'll begin mining ore and innovating cloning tech to minimize the food crisis while the last living Americans who voted for Trump pass away in a homeless camp outside a major city. Your Republic is no more, those of you who are part of the acceptable margin will live in your pods, eat bugs, own nothing and mindlessly consume ever worsening fiction while the world you knew ends.

I don't enjoy saying these things, I'm deeply disturbed. When America falls the world will be blanketed in darkness and my country will be gobbled up by China next. All that I fought for and everything I lost was for nothing because you fucking people couldn't grab your dicks and take your country back. I'm genuinely horrified, I know what's coming, a new world order of evil and displacement the likes of which none of you can imagine. I can only hope my grandchildren are smart enough to keep themselves one step ahead of the fall long enough that their great-great grandchildren might become the new kings of the coming wasteland or something. It's over, the sun is setting and on Janaury 21st Night will come for the Homosapien. Why did it have to go like this, why was there no chance to turn back? The twenty First century will be the last human century. I was so optimistic yesterday as well damn.

Coming back just to let you guys hear that liberals believe that they have won Georgia and are now calling for court packing, ending filibusters, creating new states and on and on it goes.

You have people saying that they hope the Republican party becomes more liberal so that it can be able to challenge stupid socialist policies aka Republicans are liberals who love capitalism and thats pretty much all they are. They will be all for whatever new social ill that the Left push.

As Incels on reddit love to say, Its Over! for you guys.

So in other words, they have in a way, their own version of right and wrong....they also knowingly do stuff that they can't or won't stop themselves from doing because they enjoy doing it

If you could look inside Joss Whedon's head, you'd probably find that he considers himself a feminist, is pro-feminism, etc. He probably considers himself a hypocrite or someone who wasn't who he should be.

To varying degrees, though he may partially hate himself for failing to live up to his own standards/ideals

They believe in stuff like climate change yes, but they also want to enjoy living the high life.....I don't think they can ever be the saints they think themselves because for them they're just too rich and powerful for consequences and they can't help but use said power and riches to be able to openly show off their expensive airplanes that cause so much air pollution and consume so much energy

They're rich, can you expect them to actually truly live frugal and more charitable lives instead of spending so much cash on hedonisms?

Sure, everyone I listed here is still scum, and they're all people whose actions are bad for my people. But people like this, and the entities and organizations they run aren't going to flip just because a profit margin tells them to, and that's an important consideration we have to make.

Fair

Besides, I think they're on average all too big to fail

Well looks like Joe Manchin and Kristen Sinema have become the 2 most powerful people in the Senate. Looks like you got your wish @Terthna now well all have to live with it.

Coming back just to let you guys hear that liberals believe that they have won Georgia and are now calling for court packing, ending filibusters, creating new states and on and on it goes.

I would bet my house that none of these things will happen. Manchin has already said that he will not vote to remove the fillibuster, and those other things would require 60 votes without the rule change.

By 2040, I'd have expected that we'd have perfected sex-change

Why does Jenna not look smoking hot?

Let me guess they both agreed to switch parties? Sinema is going to become the new McCuck. Amazing and she didn't even need to fake a crashdown, sell out veterans and break her arms and invent a story about being a war hero to do it. She just had to be blond, bisexual and into 16 year old mestizas.

By 2040, I'd have expected that we'd have perfected sex-change

Why does Jenna not look smoking hot?

Because transgendered people are the ultimate dupes and because social justice is about ugliness and glorifying ugliness. So you will have your 9 foot tall mutant, bearded, satanic transgendered "Polyamous-trans-Republican-Anarcho-Catharist" President and you will like it.

The Democrats lost any possible chance to pack the courts in the November election.

Because they would have needed a majority of somewhere around +6 to do that, and even with Georgia they would only have a tie.

The democrats also have a ton of structural issues in party.

Their in for a civil war no matter what happens.

No switch, they're just the two most conservative Democrats in the Senate, which means they're the two most able to pull concessions from their own party to keep a 50 vote majority on legislative action.

 

[Zachowon]

The thing is. Is there is a Tie in the Senate Harris can decide that.

 

[ShadowArxxy]

Yes, but they need 50 votes to do that. This actually swings power towards the moderate/centrist part of the Democrats, because those are the votes they have to compromise to keep in the count.
