            rdfs:label "\"Article I, Section 5 of the U.S. Constitution grants the House of Representatives the authority to judge the elections of members to the House and any election contests proceeding from an election. With this authority the House has reviewed nearly five hundred contested elections over a span of two-hundred and twenty years. Each contested election was investigated and considered by a committee of Members; initially, the committee on Elections and since 1947, the Committee on House Administration. These committees determined the merits of contest through written petitions and hearings, resulting in recommendations that were provided to the House. Committee reports document the substance of contested election claims as well as the manner in which they were considered. While the Federal Contested Election Act of 1969 established uniform procedures in considering contested elections in the House, committee reports still provide important precedent and historical perspectives for future adjudicators. Printed in this compilation are all contested election committee reports filled in the U.S. House of Representatives from the Fist Congress in 1789 through the One Hundred and Eleventh Congress in 2010. The anthology is divided into eight volumes and arranged chronologically. Committee reports are sometimes very extensive and therefore the volumes only include the report language and any minority views. Appendices and supplemental materials were in some cases too lengthy to include. It also should be noted that these reports reflect committee recommendations to the House, rather than the final outcomes of the contest which were determined by action of the House. The purpose of printing this compilation is twofold. First, it is to serve as a complete source of past contested election committee reports to provide background for future consideration of the merits of contested election claims. Secondly, it is to document the procedures adopted when considering contested election cases to provide transparency and precedent. I hope that Committee Members will find this to be a valuable resource to guide them in considering future contested election cases. / Robert A. Brady, Chairman\" -- page III." ] ;
