Iowa Bill Would Ban Ballot Challenges To Hair Furor

The Des Moines Register reports:

The Iowa Secretary of State’s office has filed a bill that would prevent Iowans from challenging Donald Trump’s place on the 2024 general election ballot on 14th Amendment grounds. The bill filed by Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate, a Republican, would limit the grounds for any challenges to a presidential candidate in the general election.

The Iowa bill would also limit the grounds for challenging all federal candidates, including for the presidency and Congress, by restricting those challenges to the candidate’s age, residency, citizenship and whether their nominating papers meet all the legal requirements.
