UPDATE 11/28/2020: Clinton County is finishing its recount process Saturday, Nov. 28. It's the last county to report their recount totals for the 2nd Congressional District race in Iowa.
The recount board is set to reconvene Saturday morning.
Right now, Mariannette Miller-Meeks is ahead of Rita Hart by just eight votes.
In the Scott County recount, Hart netted 26 votes, and she netted one in the Jasper County recount, but didn't quite close the gap.
EARLIER: The race between Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Rita Hart in Iowa's 2nd District of the U.S. House has landed in nearly a 50-50 split with 100% of precincts reporting.
As polls closed Tuesday, November 3 Mariannette Miller-Meeks showed a slight lead at 196,769 votes to Rita Hart's 196,487 votes. The Associated Press has not yet called this race. At 282 votes, that's less than 1% of total votes cast.
On Friday, however, officials said a vote-counting mistake reversed the leader of the race.
Jasper County elections officials spotted a problem Thursday, and after working with the Iowa Secretary of State’s Office they determined the numbers had been inaccurately reported from one precinct. After the correction, officials said that Hart led the race by 162 votes.
The Associated Press has not declared a winner in the race, deeming it too close to call.
As of Wednesday, November 25th, Miller-Meeks was leading. All counties have reported recounts, but they may not be finalized yet.
The Scott County Auditor said their recount was done. Miller-Meeks gained 79 votes and Hart gained 105 in Scott County.
As of Wednesday, Miller-Meeks was leading by nine votes.
Whoever wins will take over for Democrat Dave Loebsack, who has represented the district since 2007.
He announced back in 2019 that he would not run for re-election.
