Iowa Courts Address $27.5 Million Misallocation of Court Fees 2024-12-18A coding error that caused Iowa courts to misallocate over $27.5 million in court fees has been addressed and a new program was implemented last month, Iowa Judicial Branch officials have said. The issue has sparked a series of accusations between some of Iowa's state agency heads and one legislative leader. State Auditor Rob Sand, a Democrat, has defended his office's work on the issue and accused other state leaders of playing politics in their criticism of his office. Iowa Department of Management Director Kraig Paulsen, Iowa House Speaker Pat Grassley and Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird, all Republicans, have accused Sand and his office of not acting sooner and not doing all his office should to address the issue.

Trump Sues Des Moines Register, Pollster Over Pre-Election Survey 2024-12-17President-elect Donald Trump is suing The Des Moines Register and pollster J. Ann Selzer for publishing a poll that showed Vice President Kamala Harris leading in Iowa in the days before the 2024 election, claiming the poll amounted to 'fraud and election interference.' The lawsuit alleges that the poll, which showed Harris leading Trump among likely Iowa voters 47% to 44%, was published three days before the election as an attempt to 'create a false narrative of inevitability for Harris in the final week of the 2024 Presidential Election.' Trump won Iowa with 56% of the vote to Harris' 43%. The lawsuit alleges that the Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll was not merely an inaccurate poll, but was an intentional 'move with 'corrupt intent' to aid Democrats. |
