Democrats appear to be moving ahead with an effort that could overturn the results of an Iowa House race. With today's ALG Minute, I'm Catherine Mortensen. The state of Iowa has already certified the election of Republican Marionette Miller Meeks. And she has already been sworn into Congress. But now her Democratic challenger wants the House to overrule the state and seat her instead. The Wall Street Journal's Kimberley Strassel says a lot of moderate Democrats are concerned they will face enormous blowback if they move ahead with this steel.

"They're warning about what an incredibly dangerous precedent is set, because it's just a fact we have a lot of close elections these days," Strassel said. "And if you're going to go down the road of saying whoever's the majority party can just seat whomever they want and overrule state election officials. There's going to be payback down the road."

The House panel considering this case is majority Democrats and will likely recommend that the race be overturned.
