Rita Hart withdraws contest against 2020 Iowa congress election results

In part, it says “After many conversations with people I trust about the future of this contest, I have made the decision to withdraw my contest before the House Committee on Administration. Since Election Day, and throughout this entire process, my mission has been about ensuring the voices of Iowans who followed the law are not silenced. I am saddened that some Iowans’ votes will not count through no fault of their own. The work of ensuring it does not happen again will continue beyond this campaign.”

Hart’s statement blames “political disinformation” for sabotaging the review process. What she’s indirectly referencing is today’s visit to Iowa made by Republican Leader Kevin KcCarthy and Rep. Miller-Meeks.

McCarthy accused Nancy Pelosi of wanting to steal the seat. His argument heavily referenced respecting the electoral process.

Earlier this month Speaker Pelosi told the media she was willing to scrutinize election results when it’s the Democrat on the losing end of the fight. Then last week she claimed to have the ultimate authority when it came to who sits in the House of Representatives, even if it went against election certification.
