Paul Pate, Iowa’s Secretary of State, wrote a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) in support of Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA) by denouncing Rita Hart’s efforts to overturn a state-certified House race.
“Iowans take their voting very seriously and I firmly believe we are the best state in the nation for civic engagement,” Pate wrote. “Despite the pandemic, the people of Iowa made their voices heard in record numbers in 2020” in the primary and general election of 2020. Pate said he is proud of everyone, from the voters, to the poll workers, and county officials.
