Hart, despite losing, showed herself as a sore loser in announcing that she would appeal to the [[U.S. House of Representatives]] for the race to be "reviewed" via the Federal Contested Elections Act,<ref>[https://thehill.com/homenews/1230-report/528426-iowa-democrat-who-lost-by-6-votes-will-appeal-to-house Iowa Democrat who lost by six votes will appeal to House]</ref> which she did three weeks later.<ref>[https://thehill.com/homenews/house/531293-iowa-democrat-asks-house-to-review-race-she-lost-by-6-votes Iowa Democrat asks House to review race she lost by 6 votes]</ref> Moronic liberals claimed that there supposedly had been more votes to be counted, despite the fact that such could have been resolved in the recount. Many of them falsely claimed that conservatives were "hypocritical" for opposing Hart's efforts while supporting the Trump campaign's fight against [[Dominion Voting Systems|Dominion]] corruption, ''blatantly ignoring the fact that there has been no evidence of any potential election fraud in Iowa's 2nd district.''
