The Gazette, daily newspaper for Cedar Rapids, Iowa, has this staff column, excoriating the Republican majority in the legislature for having passed a bill that makes ballot access more difficult. The bill, SF 413, is sitting on the Governor’ desk.

Any minor parties in IA now ???
— to be removed by IA regime ???
Any lawyers in IA able to detect EQUAL in 14-1 Amdt ???
I heard the Demo Rep Party will be removed.
More newspapers should be upset over harsh ballot access law.
BTW, my MN State Representative introduced a bill to add political affiliation to the state’s civil right act.
Iowa already had a harsh definition of “political party” and already was one of 15 states in which only the Democratic and Republican Parties are ballot-qualified. The new bill doesn’t change that; it just makes candidate petitions, especially for US House, much more difficult.
