Democratic staffers on a low-profile U.S. House committee have been gaming out what they say are some political nightmare scenarios.

Democrats on the House Committee on Administration have been meeting and designing a plan against any attempt to interfere with the Electoral College certification on Jan. 6, 2025 .

The committee's Democrats have researched and discussed plans to ensure security is tight, and debunk emerging conspiracy theories about undocumented migrants voting.

Election forecasts and polling indicate the majority in the House could be very narrow again in 2025 .

The margin was 221 -212 at the beginning of the 118th Congress in January 2023 .

A very slim majority increases the risk of a protracted House speaker leadership battle and standoff.

Morelle said the meetings and research are ongoing in his committee's offices.
