A 20 point swing doesn't sound great

Are Iowans really that stupid or is there more to this story?

Something for the left to brag about. They are always looking for negative things to report about.

The stupid virus continues to consume America. Fools and their freedoms are parting.
To: RandFan
I’d love to see more analysis of this.
The left is definitely galvanizing around this.

If they won it’s because they cheat and get away with it.

Literally NO ONE knew there was even an election last night that is why hardly anyone came out to vote. Look at the number of those who voted, its very small, and everyone knows that GOP voters dont come out in elections like this
To: RandFan
Sounds like the state party GOP-E did it usual lazy ass minimum effort whiled the Dems were hyper organized. The Dems in Iowa have wised up. Their candidates are running as “gun totting hunt and fishing Christians” and “working parents”
In sort, back to the old Dem playbook of lying about what they really stand for and pretending to be “just regular folk”.
To: Sarah Barracuda
That’s why the Left will win.

Midterms and general elections are different for that the GOP shows up, but for stuff like this they dont bother
To: Sarah Barracuda
Literally NO ONE knew there was even an election last night that is why hardly anyone came out to vote. Special elections are a poor indicator of political trends.

Too many, although GOP is really at fault. This seat in non-presidential year 2022 got 7700 GOP votes and this time got 3411 GOP votes (to 4208 for Dem).

"He also compared abortion access to the Holocaust." There is no basis for comparison...
Abortion has killed (and continues to kill) hundreds of millions, whereas the holocaust killed less than 10 million...
Apples and oranges...
