Score one for the good guys

In Iowa's eighty first congressional district, election denier and obvious repuke, Luana Stoltenberg was originally declared the winner on election night. However, after noticing some discrepancies in some absentee ballots, a recount was ordered and lo and behold, Democrat Craig Cooper actually managed to eke out a six vote victory.
The 81st district is mostly located in Northwest Davenport and I believe tends to lean repuke. And our County Auditor, who I think was forced to order a recount is a repuke. So anyway, good guys gain a seat in the Iowa House. For more info, one could likely go to www.kwqc.com or any of the local TV station websites. The local newspaper has a paywall so don't go there.

Candidates in several close Iowa House contests this year have indicated their plans to request recounts of their races, in addition to Stoltenberg.

Aside from Scott County, the deadline to request a recount in most counties was Friday at 5 p.m.

State Rep. Garrett Gobble, R-Ankeny, said he would request a recount of the Iowa House District 42 race, where he trails Democrat Heather Matson by 23 votes, 49.9% to 50.1%.

Republican Sarah Abdouch requested a recount in the open Iowa House District 20 seat in Council Bluffs. She trails Democrat Josh Turek by seven votes.

Republican Jennifer Smith has requested a recount in Iowa House District 72 in Dubuque, where she trails Democratic Rep. Chuck Isenhart by 95 votes.

In Cerro Gordo County, Democratic Rep. Sharon Steckman told KIMT earlier this month that her Republican opponent, Doug Campbell, planned to request a recount in the Iowa House District 59 race. The Associated Press has declared Steckman the winner of that race. She leads Campbell by 6%, or 739 votes.
