Download or read book Contested Election Cases in the House of Representatives written by James P. Cotton and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an overview of contested election cases in the House of Representatives from 1933 to 2007. The U.S. House of Representatives considered 104 contested election cases. The vast majority of these cases were resolved in favour of the contestee, a term referring to a Member or Member-elect of the House of Representatives whose election was challenged. The summaries of contested election cases contained in this book focus primarily on the nature of the contest and the disposition of the case. This book only examines cases considered by the House of Representatives involving the question of whether a Member-elect was duly elected, that is, questions regarding elections and returns, not questions regarding qualifications (age, citizenship and inhabitancy).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under the U.S. Constitution, each House of Congress has the express authority to be the judge of the "elections and returns" of its own Members (Article I, Section 5, clause 1). Although initial challenges and recounts for the House are conducted at the state level, under the state's authority to administer federal elections (Article I, Section 4, cl. 1), continuing contests may be presented to the House, which, as the final arbiter, may make a conclusive determination of a claim to the seat. In modern practice, the primary way for an election challenge to be heard by the House is by a candidate-initiated contest under the Federal Contested Elections Act, (FCEA, codified at 2 U.S.C. 381-396). Under the FCEA, the candidate challenging an election (the "contestant"), must file a notice of an intention to contest within 30 days of state certification of the election results, stating "with particularity" the grounds for contesting the election. The contestee then has 30 days after service of the notice to answer, admitting or denying the allegations, and setting forth any affirmative defenses. The contestee may, before answering a notice, make a motion to the Committee for a "more definite statement," pointing out the ...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1933 to 2009 (the 73rd Congress through the 111th Congress), the U.S. House of Representatives considered 107 contested election cases. The vast majority of these cases were resolved in favor of the contestee, a term referring to a Member or Member-elect of the House of Representatives whose election was challenged. The term contestant refers to an individual who challenged the election of a Member-elect of the House of Representatives. It appears that of the 107 contested election cases considered by the House since 1933, in at least three cases, the House ultimately seated the contestant, and in at least one case, the House ultimately refused to seat any individual, declaring a vacancy. In the majority of the other cases, the contest was dismissed based on reasons including lack of evidence; a determination that voting irregularities, fraud, or misconduct was insufficient to affect the results of the election; failure to sustain the burden of proof necessary to award the contested seat to the contestant; and improper initiation of a contest or other procedural failures. With regard to procedures followed on the first day of a new Congress, of the 107 contested election cases considered by the House since 1933, it ...
