Iowa’s 2nd Congressional District

In the tightest race for a Congressional seat, Republican Marianette Miller-Meeks’ lead shrank to single digits last week as the tense recount winds down. Reportedly, Miller-Meeks held a razor-thin lead of only eight votes over Democrat Rita Hart out nearly 400,000 votes cast. Nearly all recount boards in the district have reported their results and Miller-Meeks is expected to be the certified winner. The Republican will be the second representative to flip a congressional seat in Iowa for the GOP.

Republican Marianette Miller-Meeks: 196,880 votes

Democrat Rita Hart: 196, 841 votes
