Nancy Pelosi On North Carolina Election Fraud: We Can Refuse To Seat That Congressman
Source: Huffington Post
WASHINGTON ― House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Thursday that election officials in North Carolina have a few options for responding to what appears to be an egregious case of election fraud in the states 9th Congressional District.
Members of Congress have an option, too: They can refuse to seat the winner of the race, Republican Mark Harris.
The House still retains the right to decide who is seated. That is one of the powers of the House of Representatives, Pelosi told reporters. Any member-elect can object to the seating and swearing-in of another member-elect. Well see how that goes.
Pelosi is referring to the scandal unfolding in two North Carolina counties where investigators are trying to figure out whether theres a nefarious reason so many absentee ballots were never mailed back.

A whopping 62 percent of absentee ballots were not mailed back in nearby Robeson County, which has a Native American majority.
