Asked by Pat

The final authority to determine the winner of a closely contested election in the House of Representatives is determined by the:

A. Supreme Court
B. State where election was held
C. Senate
D. House of Representatives

I am stumped on this one. My textbook says the House of Reps. (D). but how can that be?

It makes sense to me. The Supreme Court and the Senate don't have much to do with the election of a representative. The state where the election was held has already shown that it can't determine a winner. Therefore, the House of Representatives has a great interest in who is officially elected to that body.
