FL-13 Update: Fight Heads To Congress

Democrat Christine Jennings will challenge last month’s election results in the House of Representatives. What will Democrats do about it?

Jennings spokeswoman Kathy Vermazen told me today that there’s no doubt that she’ll be lodging a contest with the House — it’s only a matter of time. Most likely, it’ll happen close to the December 20th filing deadline. So when the new Congress starts up in the new year, they’ll find this thorny issue on the doorstep.

While it’s crystal clear what Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean thinks about it, the woman who’ll be in charge isn’t showing her hand. Nancy Pelosi’s office has been responding to comment requests by saying that she’s “monitoring” the situation.
