On June 1, Iowa Governor Kim Reynods signed HF 716, which tells political parties that they can’t allow postal ballots at presidential caucuses. The bill says all voters must be physically present. The Iowa Democratic Party caucus rules for 2024 do allow postal ballots, so a lawsuit is a possibility.

Good move by Reynolds. All postal ballots should be outlawed.
Should be a slam-dunk court win for Iowa Dems on SCOTUS and lower court precedent on freedom of association by political parties.
@SG,
As long as Iowa recognizes the body of registered party voters as the political party, then they can regulate how they choose their party leaders.
Maybe they should just outlaw the Democrats and solve a whole bunch of other problems at the same time?
“Should be a slam-dunk court win for Iowa Dems on SCOTUS and lower court precedent on freedom of association by political parties.”
One would think so, but I’m not sure about the current Supreme Court.
I don’t see anything slam dunk about it.
