The Iowa Supreme Court delivered another win for Republicans seeking to restrict voting.






The Iowa Supreme Court delivered another win for Republicans seeking to restrict voting.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2020/oct/21/donald-trump-joe-biden-nancy-pelosi-coronavirus-covid-19-us-election-live-updates?page=with:block-5f90cb5a8f08c62805b11aee#block-5f90cb5a8f08c62805b11aee

The court upheld a Republican-backed law that could prevent election officials from sending thousands of mail-in ballots to voters who had information omitted from their absentee ballot applications. The law, passed after a record number of voters turned out during the primaries, casting mail-in ballots as the pandemic surged.

Auditors will not be allowed to fix minor errors in the applications for absentee ballots using Iowa’s voter registration system, as they have done in past elections. Instead, the auditors will have to call or email voters one at a time to obtain any missing information – which will be tedious and time-consuming.

Voters applying for absentee ballots in Iowa have to provide their driver’s license number or a voter pin number.
