Speaking of Harris/Walz signs, a family member traveled to and from eastern Iowa to Storm Lake over the weekend. She noted a significant number of Harris/Walz signs in NW Iowa, Buena Vista county--indicating more democratic support than in the previous eight years her daughter has lived in the area. It's possible, too, that more NW Iowa Democrats feel comfortable displaying their candidate support.
Miller-Meeks built a huge house outside of Ottumwa city limits just up the hill from where I grew up. As far as I know, that property has not been sold.
She does live in Ottumwa and doesn't hide that. But if she also has a residence in Davenport (rented or purchased), it would be legal for her to vote from her Davenport address.
The question is whether she actually lives there. In 2022 she listed a friend's house as her address, and I was skeptical she could legally claim residence there. It was never fully investigated.
I just checked in TruthFinder and there is no record there of Davenport as a residence. I would think that even renting, that would be listed as a residence. Who knows. Better yet, we just need to dispose of her “services” to Iowa and vote for Christina Bohannan!!
Very interesting read. I did smile about Miller Meeks residency. To the best of me remembering Tom Harkin did not live in Iowa. He did purchase some property in S Ia where he would hold his annual picnic. As I recall he had a place in D.C. but his main house was in Bahamas where he stayed when not in D.C. and I believe he resided after leaving office.

I was wondering that as well--whether more people support the Democratic ticket, or more people feel comfortable doing so.
Regarding the epithets tossed at you during the the Rod Blum ethics episode: Wear them as badges of honor!
Oh absolutely, I do.

Tom Harkin has long owned the house in Cumming where he was born and grew up. He still stays there when he is in Iowa.
He didn't buy land for the Steak Fry--that event was usually held on the balloon field in Indianola.
He and Ruth Harkin have long owned a house in the Bahamas but you are not correct to claim that was his primary residence.
