Iowa House Debates Ballot Counting Bills in 1939 Reform Push
Two bills aim to adopt a variant of Kansas style ballot counting in Iowa. One bill, by Rep Francis, would start counting after polls open and exchange ballot boxes hourly, with no announcements until polls close. Another by Rep Bradley would form a bipartisan five member counting board with two ballot boxes and rapid exchanges. The measures urge efficient vote handling amid a broader code revision effort and preliminaries for the Thirty-ninth General Assembly. Executive and senate actions include extending the Feb 21 deadline for introduction of general bills and proceeding with code resolutions. Fourteen new Senate and House bills were introduced, while a retrenchment and reform committee organized with Senator Whitmore chair.
