Iowa Supreme Court upholds strict ballot compliance for Libertarians
The Iowa Supreme Court ruled that strict compliance with state election law is required for Libertarian candidates. The court rejected arguments of substantial or technical compliance and affirmed disqualification from the November ballot. The decision follows an expedited review after the State Objections Panel disqualified Gluba Battaglia and Aldrich for nominating irregularities. The ruling affects the 1st and 3rd congressional districts seen as close contests.

Cedar Rapids PPEL renewal supports school upkeep and future plans
Cedar Rapids voters approved a ten year renewal of the PPEL levy to fund routine and unexpected maintenance, grounds, buildings, security, and major equipment including technology. The measure keeps taxes stable while supplying about 146 million over a decade for bus costs, yearly projects, security upgrades, and pathway programs at Kennedy, Jefferson, and Washington high schools. Community support was strong with 72 percent backing the levy and survey results aligning with election outcomes.
