Here's a better view of the crowd that turned out for Liz Cheney in Des Moines. Has anyone seen any local TV coverage of this event where she said the U.S. can't survive another Trump presidency? Me either. @KCCINews @WHO13news @iowanewsnow @maddow

Today, the 28th straight court ruled against your signature voting litigation. DOJ is 0-28. Elias Law Group is undefeated. But yes, I am the loser.😂

You had nothing to do with it and you are an irrelevant grifter. But see you in court, repeat loser! I’m sure you’ll keep showing up to my lawsuits because you have a good grift going. Sad!

Iowa Republicans changed state law in 2021 to require all absentee ballots to arrive by 8 pm on election day. For decades, late-arriving ballots could be counted if postmarked before the election.

Today our special precinct board rejected an absentee ballot that came from within the county- was mailed on Oct 20- but did not arrive until today, Nov 9, 16 days later. That ballot did not get counted. USPostal service really dropped the ball.

Last night was one of biggest repudiations of a president and his enablers in U.S. history. Congrats to all the winners, especially here in Iowa. It's nice to live again in a purple state where leaders have a real opportunity to work together to improve the lives of all Iowans.

I’m still shocked that a citizen from Kansas was able to run for Iowa governorship and it was much closer than it should’ve been. Regardless proven tonight that people are able to see above rhetoric and propaganda.
