WASHINGTON â You probably thought the 2020 election was over. Think again.
Congress is debating whether they swore in the wrong person in Iowa s second congressional district, which covers most of the southeastern part of the state.
THE CONTROVERSY
Iowa election officials certified the results last year.
They confirmed that Mariannette Miller-Meeks, a Republican, defeated Democrat Rita Hart by six votes â one of the closest congressional races in history.
As a result, Congress swore in Miller-Meeks in January, giving her voting privileges.
