If there is massive voter fraud as Republicans claim, obviously the House has an obligation not to seat any of the newly elected Republicans.

(42,585 posts)All House seats are up for grabs every two years. What does that have to do with McConnell?

So that includes McConnell.

(509 posts)If they so desire. It's in the majority's sole authority. Of course, it hasn't been utilized before, but Republicans need to be aware of this.

(17,370 posts)Congress may not refuse to seat a duly elected member who meets the constitutional qualifications for office.

(43,044 posts)They don't accept the rules, we don't either, why should we?

And in the end, its just a dumb idea that would likely hurt Democrats more in the long run.

(8,318 posts)There was an election in Indiana 8 that was disputed. Frank McCloskey. The house voted to seat him in a close election. It led to quite an uproar. Thanks

(4,459 posts)... had 22 seats up. We had 12. By my math, suspending all of those elections leaves 30 republicans and 36 Dems. So if theyre right, Mitch just lost his ML status.
Theyre idiots.
