A close congressional race being decided by the House of Representatives could come down to a small number of disputed ballots.

Iowa Republican Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks was declared the winner and initially seated in Congress, but Democratic opponent Rita Hart claims in her election contest that 22 ballots must be part of the final tally. Yet, an Iowa GOP attorney says this tactic shows it was Miller-Meeks who unfairly lost ballots during the recount.
