Iowa Republican Spent $150,000 To Expose Voter Fraud, Instead Found Nothing Significant | Backstabber Watch | Scoop.it

Eighteen months and $150,000 later, a rigorous voter fraud investigation commissioned by Iowa Secretary of State Matt Schultz (R) has failed to produce any statistically significant evidence of voter fraud in Iowa,...
