Rep. Claudia Tenney was finally sworn in to the United States House of Representatives on February 11, 2021 after a long election battle.
Its okay for Democrats to scream about election issues and that’s what they’ve been doing since November 4, 2020 in a court battle for the Congressional seat in the 22nd District of New York. Claudia Tenney and Anthony Brindisi have been fighting it out and Tenney finally won in a New York state trial court. The judge ruled that Republican Claudia Tenney has won New York’s 22nd Congressional District election. New York Judge Scott J. DelConte issued a final order finding that Claudia Tenney gained votes after her narrow November win, thus increasing her lead to 123 votes over Anthony Brindisi and thus she is the winner of the November 2020 congressional election in her district.
But not so fast. After Tenney’s victory, Attorney Mark Elias’ of the Perkins Coie law firm, along with 54 other Democrat lawyers, sought a stay of the ruling, and filed what will prove to be a frivolous appeal which is effectively blocking Tenney from taking her seat.
This story continues to illustrate a simple truth that both Republicans and Democrats understand. When Republicans win, the 54 lawyers at Perkins Coie like Marc Elias will leave no stone unturned to snatch a win from defeat. But when Republicans exercise the same prerogative after an election, democracy is under threat. The depths of hypocrisy are bottomless.
