(Undated) — Iowa Republicans have about a four-and-a-half percent statewide voter registration edge over Democrats With six weeks remaining in the 2022 campaign. For years, the largest voting block in Iowa has been Independents, but have dropped to third. Jeff Link is a consultant who has worked for several Democratic candidates in Iowa and he says having independents shrink from being the largest to the smallest block of voters in Iowa shows that things are more polarized than ever. Iowa Republican Party chairman Jeff Kaufmann says he intends for the G-O-P to keep its foot on the pedal and seek out new voters because Iowa has had a long history of having swing state tendencies.
