The last 2 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives are still up in the air

The 2020 U.S. election is a rare event in the world, with not only a thrilling battle for the presidency, but also fierce contests and twists and turns in the Senate and House of Representatives.

Compared to the presidential and Senate elections, nearly three months after the November 3, 2020 election date, two seats in the U.S. House of Representatives remain undecided. The races for these two seats each have their own extremely specific qualities.

One of them is the congressional race with the smallest and closest margin of votes in 2020, with a probability of a five-vote (some reports say three-vote) margin to win or lose.

The race is a close contest for New York’s 22nd Congressional District seat. Republican Claudia Tenney (D-N.Y.) is running in the race for New York’s 22nd Congressional District. Claudia Tenney, a Republican, took aim at vulnerable first-term Democrat and incumbent Rep. Brindisi (Anthony Brindisi) for the seat.

More than 300,000 ballots were cast in the race, but the final margin was only five votes, meaning the candidates were separated by only 0.000016 percent of the vote. Such a razor-thin margin triggered a recount and a court case.

As a result, the seat will remain unoccupied until the court decides. And there will be repeated back-and-forths between the count and the court proceedings until the court process is complete.

New York State Supreme Court Justice Scott Delconte (D-N.Y.), who is a member of the New York State Supreme Court, said that the seat will not be awarded until the court rules. Scott DelConte is presiding over the case. The way things are going, the Republican Turney will likely take the seat.

A victory in New York’s 22nd Congressional District is important to both sides. If Turney wins, Republicans will achieve the 14th flip that will flip a blue seat red. The seat differential between Republicans and Democrats in the House would narrow to less than 10 seats, the smallest bipartisan difference in seats for the 435-member House in recent decades.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) suggested in early December 2020 that campaigns for the 22nd Congressional District could be decided by the House. However, that would have been illegal and detrimental to Republicans, and the proposal was rebuffed.
