Washington County Republican Chairman Harvey Holden accuses the Iowa House Democrats of stripping Lyle Stephens of his seat, alleging 92 legal Plymouth County ballots were discarded to unseat him and claiming long term harm to voter confidence and election integrity. He cites a Polk County decision and says the action shows political bias over judicial process. Also notes a separate item: Sue Cohen of Santa Monica fined $5,200 and five years probation for library book theft involving hundreds of books.
