Iowa voter turned off by partisan move

Iowa's 2nd Congressional District race between Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Rita Hart is over and the people of Iowa have spoken. Miller-Meeks won fair and square, it does not matter if it was by 6 votes or 6,000 votes. Hart needs to accept defeat.
Now Hart is attempting to overturn Iowa's election process by asking Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats to throw out the results. This is a slap in the face to all Iowa voters. It sends the message that Iowa voters do not matter and that a California elitist knows best for Iowa. Rita Hart reminds me of a spoiled child who didn't get her way and wants her mommy to make it all better (in this case, Nancy Pelosi).
