‘This is scandalous’: Iowa auditor asked to examine millions that nursing homes owe state
www.desmoinesregister.com
Nursing homes owners owe Iowa $10.7 million in fees, but state law provides no legal authority to make them pay. Some owners are big GOP donors.

Edit: other link was having issues, this should work

Three Libertarian candidates in Iowa running for the U.S. House will not be listed on ballots this November after a panel ruled they failed to comply with state law, a decision that could affect the outcome of at least one tightly contested race

The state’s objection committee, composed of one Democratic and two Republican elected officials, ruled 2-1 Wednesday in favor of Iowans who challenged the candidates’ legitimacy.

Democrat on the panel who opposed the candidates’ removal, State Auditor Rob Sand, accused his colleagues of political bias, saying in a statement that the decision was “a wrong-headed plot by Iowa’s uniparty to limit voters’ choices.”

One of Iowa's four congressional races was decided by a razor-thin margin in 2022. Republican Zach Nunn, who was challenging incumbent Democrat Cindy Axne, won by less than a percentage point. There was not a third-party candidate.

      You're right, and now I'm kind of weirded out. The url mentions torys and mps, so I'd assume I scolled to far and the url got weird, except I'm 95% sure the thumbnail changed. My clipboard still has the quotes but not the url. And when I Google the quotes I get articles are very similar, but aren't AOL.

      Anyways, here is a better link if your curious.

        These links are closer to what you probably intended

        these are about nursing home policy not the Libertarian ballot issues though
