Iowa lawmakers push bills to ban ranked choice voting
Iowa Senate and House committees advanced multiple election bills, including Senate Study Bill 3161 to ban ranked choice voting and curb ballot challenges for federal candidates, expand training, and create a voter database pilot. The measure also restricts ballot drop boxes and tightens absentee ballot timing while other bills set district-based county supervisor elections and library governance limits.

Cities push bill to curb dangerous strip clubs in Iowa
Large Iowa cities led by Davenport seek HF 2334 to let municipalities sue adult cabarets deemed public safety threats. A temporary injunction could curb hours to noon to 10 pm and bar alcohol, with potential two year ban or closure after trial. Local clubs cite past shootings and disturbances and support from major cities.
