The Texas Six-Pack

To get a sense of the changing nature of the Texas delegation, it is necessary only to view two wildly disparate events: the monthly meeting of the Texas Breakfast Club and the extemporaneous orations of acid-tongued Georgia congressman Newt Gingrich. A recent meeting of the breakfast club, on a Thursday morning in April, drew about 280 Texans, pseudo-Texans, former Texans, staffers for Texas congressmen, and Texas media types, who crowded in to hear the day’s guest, Supreme Court justice and El Paso native Sandra Day O’Connor. The club began more than twenty years ago, when the Texas delegation was the most unified and probably the most powerful in Washington. Since then the breakfasts have been a nonpartisan exercise in good-natured fellowship and chauvinism. “I thought you might want to hear the inside story of how the Supreme Court really works,” said O’Connor after she was introduced by Congressman Ralph Hall. “But Ralph said, ‘No, this is a pretty sophisticated gr

In 1969, Congress passed the Federal Contested Elections Act, which laid out a procedure for losing candidates to contest the outcome. Within 30 days of the electionâs certification by the state election body, the losing candidate can file a notice with the U.S. House, starting a process including candidate statements and depositions. The process resembles a court trial, with the losing candidate having the burden of proof.

Editorial — Los Angeles Times: House Democrats shouldn t overrule an Iowa Republican s victory | Editorials

The following editorial appeared in the Los Angeles Times on March 25: LOS ANGELES (Tribune News Service) â A Democratic congressional candidate from Iowa who lost a close election last year is hoping that the House will overturn the state-certified result. Tempted as they may be by the prospect of padding their slim majority, House Democrats should reject her request. Democrats displayed proper revulsion when some House Republicans attempted to overturn President Joe Bidenâs 2020 victories in key states. Overturning the result of an election their party lost would invite inevitable accusations of hypocrisy. The result in the race for Iowaâs 2nd Congressional District was breathtakingly close.
