An audit in Iowa found 217 uncounted ballots, allowing a House congressional candidate to claim a 34-vote lead, she said in an interview on Nov. 12.
Mariannette Miller-Meeks, a Republican, claimed victory after the audit, telling Fox News on Nov. 12, “The races in Iowa are very descriptive and very detailed, so on election night, we were ahead in votes, but there is a process of provisional ballots and absentee ballots that have to be counted.”
