Iowa Threatens To Arrest International Election Observers

Joins Texas in bipartisan disdain for the furriners

Iowa has joined Texas in warning international election observers of possible criminal prosecution if they violate state laws and get near polling places on Election Day.

Iowa Secretary of State Matt Schultz — like Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott last week — on Tuesday threatened Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe election observers with arrest if they came within 300 feet of a polling place's entrance, in violation of state law. (In Texas, it's 100 feet.)
