Pastor lodges DOJ complaint over judge comments in Iowa race
Sioux City pastor Cary Gordon on behalf of Peace Makers Institute filed with the U S Justice Department a complaint against Polk County District Court Judge Robert Hanson for alleged comments during a Wartburg College panel. Gordon accuses the remarks of voter intimidation in the context of the effort to oust three Iowa Supreme Court justices who overturned the states same sex marriage ban. Hanson says he urged informed retention voting and denies discouraging or directing votes. University of Iowa law professor Todd Pettys notes justices may express opinions and that the statements may not constitute intimidation.
