On the evening of Wednesday, February 24, the Iowa House passed SF 413, and the bill has now been sent to the Governor. The vote was 57-37. It makes changes to many types of election law. For minor party and independent candidate petitions, the bill increases their severity.
Sad times for democracy in Iowa. I ran twice there as a third party. 😞
This will just make the convention method more attractive.
The convention method of getting a candidate on the ballot in Iowa is not easy. Also, what if you are an independent?
