Score one for the good guys [View all]

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.
