The eight-seat House Democratic majority has been remarkably disciplined so far in 2021, passing radical legislation on elections and unions with few defections.
The limits of loyalty to Speaker Nancy Pelosi will be tested as the party moves to overturn an Iowa House race and expel from Congress the certified winner.
GOP Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks was certified the winner of Iowa's 2nd district last year, prevailing by 47 votes in the first count and six votes after a county-by-county recount.
The losing candidate, Democrat Rita Hart, points to 22 votes she says should have been counted and asked the House to seat her under the Federal Contested Elections Act-bypassing Iowa's special court process for election disputes.
