I realize all the updates have probably been confusing, so let me try to summarize the #IA02 situation.
21 out of the district's 24 counties (all but Clinton, Jasper, & Scott) have recounted and certified results. Miller-Meeks (R) leads by 35 votes in those counties.

Jasper County just finished its recount and Hart (D) netted 1 vote (which would narrow the margin to 34 votes overall). These new results haven't been certified but there's no reason to think they won't be.
Scott County also finished its recount today and Hart netted 26 votes (which would narrow the margin to 8 votes). These new results haven't been certified AND might not be, because there was a 131-ballot discrepancy between the recount total and original total.
Finally, Hart has reportedly already netted 1 vote from Clinton County, but the recount there is ongoing, with 6,000 more ballots to go through. They meet again on Saturday. #fin #IA02
