Louisiana: McCrery challenge is one of three the House will consider
The Shreveport Times reported yesterday: When Rep. Jim McCrery takes the congressional oath of office today, he'll be one of three Republican lawmakers whose elections to the House are still in dispute because of challenges filed by candidates they defeated.
All three elections may be scrutinized by the House Administration Committee, but in the meantime, McCrery and the other two House members will be allowed to serve.
Their challengers stand only a slim chance of victory.
More than 100 election challenges have been filed by losing candidates since 1933, but nearly all have been dismissed by the House. -- The Shreveport Times
