The Iowa Legislature passed a wide-ranging elections bill in late February. Gov. Kim Reynolds signed the bill into law March 8.
A key Republican lawmaker on Thursday denied statements by the head of Heritage Action for America about the conservative lobbying group’s role in the approval of voting restrictions this year in Iowa.
Jessica Anderson, executive director of Heritage Action for America, said in a leaked video that her organization had drafted parts of and helped pass Iowa’s sweeping election bill. Anderson also said in the video the group had crafted parts of Georgia’s controversial new voting restrictions and had worked in other states including Arizona and Florida.
