Rita Hart and Iowa Democrats are making a huge mistake not accepting her defeat according to Iowa’s election rules. Iowans have never appreciated being told what to do by Washington, D.C. outsiders. A good example is how Cedar Rapids consistently voted down a casino until a group organized by outside casino owners told us to vote it down. We thumbed our nose at them and the vote passed!
Running to Nancy Pelosi in D.C. to overturn this election will reverberate for years. We all need to remember which party believes government first and which party believes in Iowans first!
