131 unresolved ballots in Scott county. From iowastartingline.com: https://iowastartingline.com/2020/11/30/state-certifies-miller-meeks-ia-02-win-separated-by-6-votes/

On Monday morning, the Scott County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to certify the recount results despite an unresolved issue involving 131 absentee ballots.

expect legal action from Hart: (from the same article)

In a statement Monday following the certification vote, Hart’s campaign manager Zach Meunier alluded to potential legal action ahead.

“Under Iowa law, this recount process was designed to count ballots that had already been tallied, meaning that additional legal ballots may have yet to be counted,” Meunier said. “Over the next few days, we will outline our next steps in this process to ensure that all Iowans’ voices are heard.”

It may yet be a while before this one is over.
