Those numbers aren’t particularly bad for Iowa compared to 2016 stats. Trump would never have won the state (as he did by 9%) if he didn’t get a tremendous percentage of the Democrat vote. Take a look at TargetSmart. Based on their well-regarded voter modeling, Republicans are actually doing better there now than last time. Even just looking at the registrations of people who have already voted, Republicans have 32.1% of the current vote vs. 34.8% for 2016. That’s not really what I’d call crushing numbers.

yeah, except the whole premise of the article is that going to vote at the polls is at risk, which would lock in the current dem lead. In normal circumstances, I’m not worried about Iowa, but if election day turnout is suppressed, there is trouble.
