The State Board of Canvass has certified statewide results from this year’s election, including the race in Iowa’s second congressional district which is the closest congressional contest in the country. Secretary of State Paul Pate, the state’s commissioner of elections, confirmed the second congressional district outcome, with Republican Marianette Miller-Meeks squeaking past Democrat Rita Hart by six votes.

The Hart campaign has suggested there are more legally cast ballots to count. A court challenge is likely to be filed this week, which could lead to another recount in the district, which covers 24 counties in the southeast quadrant of Iowa. Pate noted every county in the state surpassed 65 percent turn-out, and some were far higher.
