Iowa weighs 15.6 million voting grant linked to compromise
Iowa faces a $15.6 million federal grant to modernize election systems if the Legislature approves a $777,000 state match. Gov Vilsack vetoed a prior anti fraud voting bill, and a compromise with Democrats is needed to secure the funds. Senator Mark Zieman notes bipartisan concessions are required.
