It argues this slate totals 302 electoral votes, enough for a decisive victory.
An election notice explains voters must select all thirteen district electors plus the two at large representing their chosen party. It argues Democrats are behind in northern states and predicts southern states will carry the Bryan vote, noting Rhinehart as a typical Des Moines Democrat.
