Culver says election reform funds will not be repaid
Iowa Governor Chet Culver defended state election reform efforts after an audit by the U S Election Assistance Commission found more than 575000 in HAVA funded programs would not be allowed. The audit questioned spending on the Celebrate Voting program and pay to the State Public Policy Group. Culver said the state will not repay and argued guidance was unclear for a new agency. Republicans seized on the findings as Culver campaigns for a second term.

Iowa lawmakers canceled plans for a legislative committee study on medical marijuana. House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy said an old state law allows the Iowa Board of Pharmacy to set the rules, placing the decision with the board rather than a legislative panel. The board previously urged changing marijuana's classification but sought direction from elected officials.
