Associated Press: “Being marked as inactive in the state’s voter registration database does not immediately affect anyone’s ability to vote in any way, according to the Iowa Secretary of State’s office. But under state law, it’s the first step in a process that would result in the cancellation of one’s registration after four more years of inactivity.”
Same Election. Different Stories.
Election Day brings a flood of political news — and which sources you follow can shape the story you see.
That's why I appreciate what Ground News does. It shows how the same story is covered across the political spectrum — and highlights important stories that one side may be ignoring entirely.
And when the votes are counted and everyone starts debating what they mean, it's a useful way to get a broader view.
