EXCLUSIVE: House Republicans are raising "serious" ethical concerns in the contentious effort to overturn the six-vote victory of GOP Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks in Iowa's 2nd Congressional District. In the case, Democrat Rita Hart is asking the House Administration Committee to investigate 22 ballots she alleges were not properly tallied that would make her the real winner of the seat. The House Administration Committee is currently weighing whether or not to launch a recount effort that could ultimately decide whether Miller-Meeks is removed from office, and Hart is sworn in as the new representative. Spokespeople for the House Administration Committee Democrats also did not immediately respond. Although Iowa certified Miller-Meeks as the winner of the razor-thin congressional race, the House has the final say on election contests.
