(Oelwein, IA) U-S Senator Chuck Grassley says he and his fellow Republicans oppose two Democrat-backed voting rights bills mostly because they are unconstitutional. The Iowa Republican says the constitution is clear when it says the state legislature sets the manner of having an election. Grassley was in Fayette County Monday. Iowa is one of 20 states passing more restrictive laws following the 2020 presidential election. The U-S Senate is scheduled to debate the two voting rights bills today (Tuesday) in Washington.
