So more likely than not, a Democrat gets this seat.

How many votes is required in the House to expel a member? A simple majority or 2/3rds?

im pretty sure expulsion is 2/3 but refusing to seat is just a simple majority.


What's the difference between being expelled and being unable to take your seat?

So in theory could democrats just refuse to seat every republican in the house just cuz?

and yeah the senate could retaliate. And I consider myself  an indie who dislikes Trump but if the dems did this I will vote straight R in 2020.

> Implying that either party would ever do that.

Looks like the "effort" to elect more Republican women to Congress has had a great start!

And the fact that she’s losing by over 20 points... wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of voters didn’t vote for her because of gender.

Pretty sure Joan Perry endorsed Democrats as recently as 2012.

She did support McIntyre, but he was a Democrat in name only.

So she’s an opportunist. Figures.

I had completely forgotten that there was a special in NY-27. For some reason I thought that was scheduled alongside the regular election in November. These results are nothing but catastrophic for Republicans if it is indicative of anything meaningful. But again, if we were going by special election results as a barometer for November, we'd have thought Biden was doomed based on the CA-25 special.

Well to be fair, CA-25 is still a kind of a tossup, and it's traditionally Republican.

NY-27 is a solid red seat and no Democrat has any business doing this well, especially against an unproblematic candidate like Jacobs.
