Johnson County’s official November 3 General Election page now publishes Public Measure NC, asking voters across Kirkwood Community College’s 18-county Merged Area X to authorize up to $88 million in general-obligation bonds for facility modernization and equipment. The county states that 60% approval is required. IA Fact Check records the official ballot question without taking a position, and keeps sample-ballot status separate: Johnson County says precinct-specific samples will appear in its lookup in September.
Cedar County’s official election page now lists absentee-voting dates, extended auditor-office hours, Election Day hours and a polling-locations document. The county says more ballot-availability information will be posted closer to Election Day; finalized precinct-specific General Election sample ballots are not posted yet.
Cerro Gordo County’s official election page now lists November 3 polling hours plus absentee-voting and registration deadlines and links the county precinct list. No finalized precinct-specific 2026 General Election sample ballot is posted yet.
Delaware County’s official November 3 General Election page lists August 25 as the first day to submit absentee-ballot requests, October 14 as the start of mailed and in-person absentee voting, October 19 as the voter pre-registration and mailed-ballot-request deadline, November 2 at 5:00 PM as the end of in-person absentee voting, and November 3 as Election Day.

Jasper County’s official November 3 General Election page lists key absentee-voting and registration dates and 7:00 AM–8:00 PM Election Day hours. The county’s precinct page lists 20 voting precincts with current polling locations and directs voters to the Secretary of State lookup for confirmation. IA Fact Check keeps ballot status separate: the county sample-ballot index does not yet list a finalized 2026 General Election sample ballot.
Mitchell County’s official November 3 General Election page lists Election Day poll hours, absentee-voting dates and extended auditor-office hours.

The Iowa Secretary of State’s official General Election candidate list now identifies Matt Reisetter as the Republican candidate for House District 76 while listing Derek Wulf as the Republican lieutenant-governor candidate.

Shelby County’s official November 3 General Election page lists six precinct/polling-location groupings and addresses covering Harlan, Elk Horn, Irwin, Earling and Shelby-area precincts. IA Fact Check added the official county guidance while keeping ballot status separate: the page does not yet publish finalized precinct-specific 2026 General Election sample ballots.

Added the recorded June 11 Kennedy call to Rick Stewart, the reported June 8 call to Marco Battaglia, and Sen. Ron Wyden’s July 14 Hatch Act complaint. The review distinguishes documented outreach from Stewart’s quid-pro-quo interpretation, notes AP’s finding that no specific request or offer was made in the Stewart recording, and does not treat campaign coordination or a Hatch Act violation as established without an adjudication.
Added Hegseth’s Aug. 17 campaign speech for Nunn, including his personal-capacity disclaimer and direct appeal for Nunn to remain in Congress. Official OSC guidance is included so the political endorsement is documented without treating the appearance alone as proof of a Hatch Act violation.
JStreetPAC’s primary event page lists Josh Turek, Christina Bohannan, Lindsay James and Sarah Trone Garriott as supported candidates for an Aug. 26 virtual fundraiser, with contribution tiers from $400 to $14,000. The site records the support while preserving the page’s disclaimer that it is not authorized by any candidate committee and does not treat the event as proof of coordination or improper influence.
Documented Lahn’s support for pulling COVID shots from the Iowa market and banning mRNA vaccines, then separated the policy preference from its factual rationale: FDA recognizes a real myocarditis/pericarditis risk, while licensed mRNA vaccines exist and peer-reviewed household studies show vaccination did not eliminate transmission but did produce measurable transmission effects.
Added a source review of Lahn's current campaign claim that over 25% of Iowa land is owned by out-of-state investors and foreign governments. ISU's 2022 survey supports a 25% combined category for farmland owned by part-time Iowa residents or nonresidents, but that group includes heirs/former Iowans and others; foreign ownership/lease interests are separately tracked and much smaller.
Added Sand’s direct ACS CAN answers on Medicaid access/expansion, follow-up breast-cancer screening costs, HPV-vaccine access and tobacco taxes. Also documented that Lahn had not yet submitted answers to the same questionnaire as of Aug. 17 and is scheduled for an ACS CAN cancer forum Aug. 18; nonresponse is not treated as opposition.
Added Hinson’s Aug. 15 statewide general-election ad. The defined-period missed-vote figure has documentary support, while the broader “skips work half the time” wording is not equivalent to roll-call attendance and the “Iowans don’t care” portrayal is kept context-sensitive because a stable full-source clip was not independently recovered.
Added the reported Henry County homestead credit, Iowa's official six-month occupancy rule, Des Moines-address context and Mitchell campaign response. The record raises an eligibility question but does not establish a violation without an assessor or other official finding.
Added Lahn’s statement that “The trend is that we’re closing the gap” and checked it against the public summer polling record. Sand led in each poll located, while differences in pollsters, samples and overlapping field periods mean those snapshots do not establish a reliable closing trend.
Added June 30 FEC totals for Christina Bohannan, Mariannette Miller-Meeks, Sarah Trone Garriott and Zach Nunn. The profiles now distinguish cumulative receipts/disbursements and cash on hand from political claims about popularity, donor control or election outcome.
Documented the additional $17 million Iowa reservation, the earlier $13.4 million reservation, the affiliated health-care attack campaign, Hinson’s response, and federal context showing both major health-program reductions and a $50 billion rural-health program in P.L. 119-21.
Story County’s official election notice says all three county-supervisor seats are being elected by district in 2026 rather than at large; voters elect only their own district’s supervisor, and official district/precinct maps are now linked.
Documented the sustained heckling/following and police escort while separating those facts from the opposition participant’s unverified claim that Sand was “scared” and hiding in a restroom; no specific communicated threat was verified in the reviewed sources.
Added The Guardian’s Aug. 16 statewide cancer/water-quality issue reporting and cross-checked the candidates’ records against campaign plans and an Iowa Legislature lobbyist filing, keeping policy proposals separate from unsupported medical-causation or improper-influence claims.
Added the reported $65,350 five-year pork-industry-linked contribution total, H.R. 4673 sponsorship and independent Prop 12 context, while explicitly rating donor control or quid pro quo as not established.
The county now lists official absentee-request, in-person voting and Election Day dates/hours; candidate information and finalized 2026 General Election sample ballots are not yet posted.
Black Hawk County’s official election office says all five supervisor seats are being elected by district in 2026 rather than at large; voters will vote only in their own supervisor district, and official district/precinct maps and election deadlines are now linked.
Dallas County now lists its 2026 General Election polling places, four changed locations, and early-voting/absentee deadlines; no finalized General Election sample ballot is posted yet.
Added FEC-linked contribution reporting, petition context and Hinson’s later Aye vote on the Epstein Files Transparency Act, while explicitly separating association from proof of wrongdoing.
The Atlantic reports Sand did not name a specific week when pressed at a Newton town hall; historical context shows his life-begins-at-breath religious argument dates to 2018.
Verified the airing TV creative and traced its take-home-pay figure to CEA economic modeling; the vote is real, but the $9,000+ outcome is modeled rather than guaranteed.
