I hope other Iowa Democratic legislators in Des Moines take a lesson. Walking out on Bobby Kaufmann, Johnson county Democrats Rep. Amy Nielsen, D-North Liberty and Rep. Adam Zabner, D-Iowa City, got a headline that simply pointing out to Rs the error of their ways would not have.

According to the Iowa City Press-Citizen/Des Moines Register:

“Two Democrats walked out of a House subcommittee meeting Tuesday on an election bill that would make it more difficult for Iowans to challenge Donald Trump’s place on the 2024 general election ballot.

“The wide-ranging election bill would allow federal candidates convicted of felonies to appear on Iowa’s ballot, ban ballot drop boxes, ban ranked-choice voting and change the deadline for when absentee ballots must be returned to a county auditor to be counted.

“At Tuesday’s House subcommittee meeting, Rep. Bobby Kaufmann, R-Wilton, interjected as Rep. Amy Nielsen, D-North Liberty, was speaking.”
