You’re wrong. The House declared a Democrat the winner in an Indiana House race back in the 80s even though Indiana had declared the Republican the winner by a handful of votes. There is no formal appeal for this as each house of Congress has the final say on its membership. It’s just a matter of how much bad PR they are willing to take. Granted how few recall that Indiana theft, not to mention that Washington state rewarded the theft of their Governorship with reelection Reid may judge he can get away with such a coup.

Thanks. I thought they had to accept or reject the qualifications of the person sent to them by the state. I didn't think they could overturn a state election and pick their own members, otherwise why have the elections in the first place.
This is just another reason to repeal the 17th amendment and let the state legislatures send the Senator of their choice to Washington.
