Iowa Votes Safe Amid New Jersey Glitch | Des Moines News

A software glitch in New Jersey’s voter registration system, linked to IDEMIA, accidentally registered 400 noncitizens — sparking alarm across states. IDEMIA also serves Iowa, raising concerns, but Iowa officials confidently say no such error occurred there. Iowa doesn’t auto-register voters, and undocumented residents can’t even get driver’s licenses, making the scenario unlikely. The state actively audits voter rolls and recently rejected ballots tied to potential noncitizens. Iowa’s election security remains strong, with officials pushing for even stricter citizenship verification. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Iowa Challenges South Carolina’s First Spot | Des Moines News

Iowa’s Democratic Senate nominee Josh Turek and former Senator Tom Harkin are fiercely defending Iowa’s right to host the first 2028 presidential primary, challenging the DNC’s decision to move South Carolina to the front. Turek insists Iowa law mandates the lead position and that he’ll fight to protect the state’s interests. Harkin, a 1992 presidential hopeful, praises Iowa’s open, fair process and contrasts it with South Carolina’s perceived influence from powerful figures like Jim Clyburn. Turek also points to President Obama’s fond memories of his 2008 Iowa win as proof of the state’s historic role in selecting strong candidates. Despite the DNC’s ruling, both men remain adamant that Iowa’s tradition and fairness deserve to be restored to the top spot.
