Can Republicans Just Refuse To Seat Elected Democrats?
Summary
Adelita Grijalva won her special election 3 weeks ago. Since then, over 800,000 people in Southern Arizona have been unrepresented in the House while Mike Johnson drags his feet and uses his job of administering the oath of office to hold her seat hostage to punish Democrats and block the release of the Epstein files. Are there any consequences for Johnson, and could this happen again after the 2026 midterms?
