Great video on voter restrictions coming to Iowa

https://blogforiowa.com/2018/02/20/watch-this-handy-video-explaining-iowas-burdensome-new-voting-regulations/

Want a handy five minute explanation of Iowa’s new voter ID law? The Johnson County Auditor’s Office and Iowa City Cable Channel 4 have produced a new video outlining the changes in state law.

The video explains changes in early and election day voting, the types of IDs that will be accepted, and changes in timing and requirements for mailed ballots.

I wish every county would verify at least one random precinct.

Turn magic box key to test mode. Insert sample ballots. Magic box spits out totals. Surprise magic box totals match sample ballots. Too much faith in magic box software. I'd like every county to hand count a random precinct.
