All 6 Members of Iowa’s Delegation Vote to Certify Electoral College Results

Iowa’s congressional delegation was unanimous in its rejection of attempts to delay confirmation of Joe Biden’s Electoral College win.  Democratic Representative Cindy Axne of West Des Moines and Republicans Mariannette Miller-Meeks of Ottumwa and Ashley Hinson of Marion announced in advance that they would accept the Electoral College results.  Republican Randy Feenstra of Hull said in a statement that he was following the Constitution by ensuring the Electoral College votes were confirmed.  Republican Senator Chuck Grassley said election disputes are to be settled in the courts and noted none of the 78 lawsuits filed by the Trump campaign changed any state’s election results.  Senator Joni Ernst said objecting to the count will not change the outcome and the “reprehensible violence” in the U-S Capitol won’t change it, either.
