Woodbury County (Iowa) Auditor Pat Gill says that the county will hold a presidential primary at the county fair, August 1-5, 2007. Mr. Gill is not available for questions on July 18. The obvious question for him (which no one else in that office can answer) is how the county will decide which candidates to list on the ballots. It is hoped he will be available on July 19 to answer this question. The state of Iowa has never held a presidential primary, so obviously nothing in the state election code can deal with this question. UPDATE: Woodbury County will list the 8 Democrats who have participated in debates this year, and the 10 Republicans who have participated in debates this year, on its presidential primary ballots. Also, for the Republican ballot, the county will include Fred Thompson, and will probably delete Jim Gilmore.
