Democrats have excoriated President Donald Trump for pursuing his constitutional legal challenges after all kinds of irregularities in the election. “An attack on democracy!” Democrats have screamed.
On the contrary, it’s exactly the recourse he is afforded according to the process.
Yet, while Democrats have attacked Trump, they’re pretty silent when it comes to condemning Democrat Rita Hart’s effort to overturn her election defeat in Iowa’s Second District.
According to Townhall, in Hart’s case, she didn’t challenge the result in a court of law, like Trump. She didn’t legally allege any irregularities in the count. The original count and the recount supported that the Republican Mariennette Miller-Meeks won by six votes and she was certified the winner by the state.
But now, Hart is asking the House of Representatives to decide the election and overturn the certified result, to get the “result we need.”
In reality, she likely knew she would lose and decided to bypass that route to a more sure thing: having the Democrats in the House simply declaring her the winner.
Needless to say, folks in Iowa are more than a bit peeved with her over it.
So what were Democrats saying on the issue? Democratic House Rep. Cindy Axne, the one Iowa Democrat in the House, issued a statement indicating she was supportive of this effort to steal the election. So, the Democratic hypocrisy is out in the open. Why isn’t this an “attack on democracy?”

Notice even how the Politico reporter phrases it: “trailing.”Wild video clip here.@RitaHartIA says she’s having @SpeakerPelosi decide the election result instead of Iowa courts because “there was only one way they could get the result they needed”
This is as antithetical to democracy as it gets #Ia02

Hart is claiming that there were 22 ballots that were improperly excluded and that other ballots weren’t examined in the recount. But she never raised a challenge to the recount. She said that she wouldn’t raise the issue in the courts, claiming “state law would have required a contest to be decided within days and did not allow for adequate time to examine thousands of ballots.”Rita Hart — who's trailing by 6 votes in her race in Iowa — has officially filed her petition with the House Admin Committee https://t.co/j9HG5mJeKT

According to Townhall, local newspapers are also chastising Hart, even those who previously endorsed her.Poll: #IA02 voters clearly reject Democrats' election steal scheme https://t.co/6BEQ7p4Vaz pic.twitter.com/22ks7q7liz

So even if she manages to steal the election, local Iowans are going to look askance at her and the Democrats.Des Moines Register Editorial Board spitting venom: https://t.co/Y9ronBl42x pic.twitter.com/ppH6CAXNoL
