IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - Majority Democrats in the U.S. House say they will allow an Iowa Republican to take office while they review her opponent's claim that her six-vote victory was wrongly decided. 

The US House is being asked to examine election results from Iowa's Second Congressional District. Tuesday Democrat Rita Hart officially requested a recount for the race that currently looks like it was won by Republican Mariannette Miller-Meeks by just six votes. 

Iowa officials have certified a Republican candidate as the winner by six votes for an open seat in the U.S. House, in what is shaping up to be the closest congressional election in decades.

Just when you were hoping you wouldn't have to think about elections for a long time, it's time to get ready for the next one. Filing begins Monday in Illinois for next year's municipal elections.

Leaders of local congregations and an advocacy group want to make sure every vote is counted. A day after the general election, Quad Cities Interfaith, One Human Family, and Progressive Action for the Common Good held a Zoom conference to promote unity and democracy.
