Last-minute Iowa voter challenges, an IA-01 debate, and more
Laura Belin and Dr. Bob Leonard discuss the Iowa Secretary of State's last-minute directive telling county auditors to challenge ballots from "self-reported" non-citizens. (Some people on the secret list are in fact naturalized citizens.) Meanwhile, the ACLU of Iowa warned about mass challenges to voter registrations in some counties. Other topics covered include early voting numbers, the only debate between the first Congressional district contenders, a Republican candidate who didn't follow his own ticket-splitting advice, and some Iowa Senate races to watch.
