Pelosi funding partisan effort to overturn certified election

This morning Politico reported that the effort to overturn the state-certified election results in Iowa’s Second Congressional District has been “blessed by the top echelons of House Democratic leadership. And the DCCC has brought in — and is paying the legal fees for — top Democratic election lawyer Marc Elias.”

Here’s what they’re saying about the Pelosi-blessed effort to subvert Democracy and overturn a state-certified election:  

Cook Political Report Editor Dave Wasserman: “FWIW I haven’t talked to a House D who thinks there’s the slightest chance the House will vote to overturn the certified results in #IA02. And tbh, of the two Dems who fell short by infinitesimal margins in certified House race results (Rita Hart in #IA02 and Anthony Brindisi in #NY22), only Brindisi is behaving like someone who wants to win an election in the future.”

Democrats in competitive districts to Politico: We “do not want to vote on this.”

Democrat Rep. David Price: “I don’t think there’s the slightest chance” Democrats will vote to overturn the state-certified results in #IA02.

Democrat Rep. Lou Correa: “I think these are issues that right now are probably best left at the state level.”

Democrat Rep. Dan Kildee: “Unless we see compelling evidence that there’s something seriously wrong, then we should defer to state and local officials.”

Washington Post Editorial Board: “House Democrats should keep their distance. Iowa’s bipartisan election process certified the results. Barring truly egregious errors, a partisan House majority should not reverse them.”

And if that wasn’t bad enough, the ethically challenged lawyer leading Democrats’ efforts, Marc Elias, was hit with a story detailing his conflict of interests related to Democrats’ efforts to overturn a certified election.

NRCC Comment: “This entire process is a brazen attempt to overturn the will of Iowa voters and election officials. Every Democrat should be calling on Nancy Pelosi to call off this partisan sham.” – NRCC Spokesman Mike Berg
