the best case scenario is whatever state board of elections agency exists at the end of the month calls for a new election next year and the seat just goes unfilled for a while

Can't pelosi just say "no gently caress you cheater you don't get a seat?"

i dont think pelosi has any authority to do that

the house has expelled members before but that requires a 2/3 majority

I dunno but they just did a recount for a *tied* Alaska Senate or house race and it resulted in the Republican coming out one vote ahead

absolutely not. the states have complete control over their own elections unless the constitution forbids something, like “changing the voting age” or “taking the vote away from black people.” and even those can be ignored if the states try hard enough.

they could decide the seat by votes and dogfighting and pelosi couldn’t do anything to stop it
