A lawyer for a Democrat who claims she won an election that state officials say she lost argued in a new filing that the House of Representatives can unseat the winner, overruling the election certification.

Marc Elias wrote in a brief to the House Administration Committee that the panel should not take any action in regards to Rita Hart, the Democrat candidate, avoiding state court and going straight to the House.
