Statehouse election is still in question, over 29 votes

12/28/2018

Charles City Press, 12-28-18

Kayla Koether, Democratic candidate for Iowa House district 55, believes that 29 uncounted ballots in Winneshiek County are valid, and should be counted.
Incoming House Minority Leader Todd Prichard, a Charles City Democrat, agrees.

Iowa’s Republican Secretary of State Paul Pate, who is charged with overseeing the state’s elections, does not.

None of them seem to have an answer to an important question: Were there other valid votes that went uncounted in the November election, and if there were, how many?

“It’s a possibility,” Prichard said. “This is getting noticed because this election has such a close margin. It’s possible this happened in districts where the margin wasn’t so close, where people weren’t paying as close attention.”

It’s possible the number of valid, mailed-in ballots that went uncounted could be in the thousands. More than 547,000 Iowa residents voted absentee this year, a record number for the state in an election with the highest ever turnout in a midterm election of 1.3 million voters.

The current dispute is the result of a conflict between state law and current practices of the U.S. Postal Service. Iowa law says mailed absentee ballots received after election day must have a postmark to allow election officials to determine they were mailed by the mandatory deadline of the day before the election. However, the postal service doesn't typically postmark absentee ballot envelopes.

It's not clear how many Iowa ballots were not counted because they lacked postmarks. A spokesman for Pate has said the office does not know. Messages sent to the Iowa Secretary of State’s office were not returned on Thursday.

“The legislature will decide who wins this election and what votes are counted,” Prichard said Thursday. “As I understand it, it will start and end in the House.”

Koether  trails Republican incumbent Michael Bergan by nine votes in district 55, which includes Clayton, Fayette and Winneshiek counties. In November, she sued Pate and Winneshiek County Auditor Ben Steines after they refused to count 33 mailed-in ballots in her race against Republican state Rep. Michael Bergan. Steines and Pate said the envelopes lacked a postmark that would indicate when they were mailed.

State law states that absentee ballots must be mailed no later than the day before the election to be counted. For ballots that arrive after Election Day, the law says officials can use either the postmark or an “intelligent mail barcode” to determine whether it was mailed on time. Court records indicate the envelopes containing the 33 ballots in question may have been too thick to run through the postmark machine.

The envelopes did, however, contain a postal bar code on a lower edge that would likely show when they were mailed. A court ruling gave Koether the right to determine whether the uncounted ballots were mailed on time. Of the 33, it was determined that 29 were, in fact, mailed on time.

“There is information on the envelope that tells you when the ballot entered the system. The state code requires that the ballot enters the system before election day. It’s that simple,” Prichard said. “If the ballot was mailed before election day, it should be counted. I think the Iowa Code is pretty clear, and I think it should be applied in this case.”

Pate and Steines, however, argued that state law doesn't allow those types of barcodes to be used to affirm a ballot mail date, and declined to count the ballots.

Koether asked Judge Scott Beattie in a lawsuit she filed Nov. 29 to order them to count the 29 absentee ballots that in question. Beattie concluded that the Iowa Constitution and state law establishes a procedure for legislative seat challenges to go to the lawmakers themselves and not the courts.

"That power is constitutionally given to the legislative branch, and this court lacks subject matter jurisdiction as a result," he wrote.

Prichard said the judge ruled that the right place to contest the election is in the legislature, pursuant to Iowa code.

Last Friday, Koether notified Bergan and Pate that she's contesting the election. That triggered a seldom-used formal process that requires the House to consider election disputes. The Republican-led Iowa House or a committee appointed by leaders now must act as a court to consider evidence and decide whether to count the ballots.

“What I expect to happen is there will be some discussions as how we adjudicate this,” Prichard said. “It’s really an undefined process — a lot of it will rest on the Speaker of the House, Linda Upmeyer, as to how she wants to deal with this.”

Prichard said that in the few times this has happened in the past, a committee was formed and the committee made a majority and a minority recommendation. The recommendations were then voted on by the full House.

He added all of this might be unnecessary, if Pate would just count the votes.

“The votes were properly cast — they are legally cast ballots,” Prichard said. “There really isn’t a grey area in what should be done. It’s clear these 29 ballots should be counted.”

If the ballots were counted and it was clear Koether lost, Prichard said it was “very likely” that she would drop the issue.

“If we knew what the vote count would be, that would cut to the chase,” he said. “The 29 votes may or may not sway the election, but I think it will prevent 29 voters from being disenfranchised, and it will uphold their right to vote, which I think is important. I think it also gives legitimacy to the winner, whoever that may ultimately be.”

Prichard didn’t rule out future legislation to clarify the law.

“If that’s what it takes, yeah, but my point is the law is already clear and straightforward,” he said. “I think the code is clear. I think the guidance from the secretary of state is incorrect, but if we need to legislate what the secretary of state has somehow made unclear, then I guess that’s what we’ll have to do.”

At this point, it isn’t clear to anyone if those 29 votes will ever be counted.
​
“I don’t know, I hope they do, I think they should, and I think common sense says that they should,” Prichard said. “I’m going to try to remain hopeful.”

Teaching gun safety in school is just common sense

12/27/2018

0 Comments

 

Charles City Press, 12-27-18


When I was in eighth grade, the state of Iowa made it mandatory for every kid to take a certified gun-safety class before he or she could get a hunting license.

I took my class in school. My certified hunter-safety teacher was Mr. Campbell, and it was the only one of all of Mr. Campbell’s tests that I ever aced. A perfect score.

That was a big deal. It was not an easy test, and you see, a lot of my junior high classmates were afraid of Mr. Campbell.

He was one tough teacher, and had a personality that could be intimidating to your typical eighth-grader. Eighth-graders think they’re smart (they’re not), they think they’re funny (they’re usually not), and they like to pretend they’re not afraid of anyone or anything (they’re actually afraid of everyone and everything). I was no different.

But my classmates and I had met our match with Mr. Campbell. He saw right through our phony bravado.

Strict and sturdy, Mr. Campbell was a former Marine who taught science, anatomy, health, and a few other things. He was loud, he was direct, he meant business and he expected his students to mean business, too.

Each class was like a 45-minute march, with Mr. Campbell as the drill sergeant, barking out clear directions. You stayed in line. If you fell out of line, he’d let you know. Believe me, you didn’t want him to let you know.

I’ve no doubt that’s the best way to learn things in the United States Marine Corps. I’m not sure if that’s the best way to learn things in eighth grade, but it’s one way, and it was Mr. Campbell’s way. And we did, in fact, learn things.

Mr. Campbell was an avid hunter and an expert dog-trainer, and in my opinion, there has never been anyone in the history of the world more qualified to teach kids gun safety.

He taught the class after school, in his classroom. Many of us wanted hunting licenses, so the room was packed.

I however, was unable to take the scheduled class. I had previous obligations, and couldn’t fit it in. So my dad, also a teacher, talked to Mr. Campbell and made special arrangements for me to take the class at another time — one-on-one.

It was just me and Mr. Campbell.

One of us was scared out of our minds, and it wasn’t Mr. Campbell.

Earlier this month, it was reported that middle school students in two area school districts will be learning how to properly handle firearms as part of a mandatory hunter safety course being introduced in the next school year.

Students in both the seventh and eighth grades in the North Butler and Clarksville will take part in the classes starting in 2019. High school students will also be able to take part in a voluntary class teaching how to properly use firearms.

This was surprising to me, only because I assumed that this has been happening all along, in every school district.

If we’re not teaching kids gun safety in every school, we should be.

I was also stunned to hear so many speaking out against this.

According to the reports, students will use inoperable guns with replica ammunition to learn how to load and unload bullets and hold and care for firearms. They’ll also learn how to safely carry guns and how to recognize when firearms are loaded. The hunter safety courses are expected to last about a week as part of the physical education curriculums and will be taught by a naturalist from the Butler County Conservation Board. Parents can opt to have their children sit out the courses.

Seventh and eighth graders will be required to complete the course at North Butler; only eighth graders will be required to do so at Clarksville. For students interested in other grades, there will an option evening course available.

I am absolutely dumbfounded to learn that there is anything about this that is the least bit controversial to anyone with common sense. I say the two administrations of those two school districts deserve high praise for having the intelligence to decide do something that we all should have been doing all along. I hope that other schools in Iowa start to do the same.

As the superintendent of one of the schools said, gun safety, and knowing how to handle firearms, is beneficial to anyone — even those who never plan to hunt.

I have no idea if that superintendent, or the Butler County naturalist, are anything like Mr. Campbell, but if they are, those kids will learn things that they’ll never forget — things that will be helpful to them for the rest of their lives. The class may even save their life — or the life of someone else — someday.

Guns mean serious business. And when Mr. Campbell taught me about guns, I meant serious business, too.

My one-on-one gun-safety class with the terrifying Mr. Campbell was ultimately nothing to worry about. I already knew a lot of the material we covered, as my dad and my uncles had already schooled me on guns and hunting long before I’d ever walked into Mr. Campbell’s classroom. Still, I didn’t know everything, and he made sure I learned all I needed.

I also learned that Mr. Campbell wasn’t such a scary guy after all. If you were respectful to him, he was respectful to you. If you made an effort, he appreciated it.

And if you brought him some venison sausage from the first deer you ever shot, to thank him for taking the time to teach you how to shoot it, you’d made a friend for life.

A Christmas Story: Tidings of comfort and joy

12/20/2018

Charles City Press, 12-20-18
​
The young woman furrowed her brow and rubbed her eyes. Her fingers then straightened her long black hair. Everything in the store she had looked at that was any good cost just a little too much, and everything that was within her price range just wasn’t quite good enough.

She needed a perfect Christmas gift for the perfect guy — a blue-eyed, baby-faced guy who had always been sweet to her — and she became more and more frustrated as she roamed through aisle after aisle. She had looked at sweaters, watches, jackets, gloves, gadgets and colognes — and just about everything she liked cost more than she could ever afford on her wage as a waitress at a small cafe. She didn’t know whether to cry or scream. If he didn’t like his Christmas gift, she thought, maybe he wouldn’t like her anymore.

A white-haired older woman watched her and knew immediately that the young lady had to be searching for a present for a very important boyfriend. As the two came closer to one another in the cologne aisle, she cleared her throat and spoke cheerfully.

“Merry Christmas, dearie,” the older woman said.

The young woman looked at her. The older woman’s eyes sparkled through her spectacles, and she wore a navy-colored sweatshirt with a red-nosed reindeer pictured on the front — a gift from grandkids the previous Christmas.
Something about the way the strange old woman had said it soothed the younger woman. Maybe it was the silliness of the word “dearie,” or maybe it was just the musical tone in her voice.

The young woman smiled. “Merry Christmas to you, too,” she replied.

“Oh, dearie.” (There was that word again.) “You don’t have a thing to worry about. With a smile as pretty as that, your man will love you no matter what you give him. He won’t let you get away.”

The polite, pretty smile quickly became a sincere and beautiful one — the kind of smile that belongs on the cover of a magazine or in a feature film. The young woman simply beamed. “Thank you,” she managed to mutter in reply.

Finding the right gift was easy after that, and as she merrily waited in the checkout line she bumped shoulders with a middle-aged man. A tired fellow with a receding hairline and a growing belly, he didn’t care much for Christmas shopping and cared even less for crowded checkout lines. His patience was limited and he was beginning to dread the anticipated hassle of another Christmas Day — and the outrageous bills that were soon to follow.

“Excuse me,” he mumbled to her after they had bumped.

“No problem,” she said. Then she gave him that sincere smile. “Happy holidays.”

It had been a long time since a pretty young woman had smiled at him like that. His beaten posture changed as his heart lifted in his chest — his upper body seemed to inflate and his face softened significantly. He held his head high and smiled back at her — as he would smile at the whole world for the rest of the evening.

“Happy holidays to you, too,” he cheerfully exclaimed to her moments later as he exited the store, bags of gifts in tow. He seemed to be walking on air. “And season’s greetings and Merry Christmas to all of you,” he exclaimed to all the busy check-out clerks, his once-grumbling voice now lilting with gentle laughter.

His attitude had changed so drastically that he happily left a much-larger-than-usual amount of money in the charity bucket next to the Salvation Army Santa ringing the bell outside. Then, as he drove out of the parking lot, he came across a motorist with a flat tire. Normally he would have driven right by, but today he pulled over to help.

As he put the spare tire on for the nice, white-haired woman, he chatted away — and even complimented her on her “Rudolph sweatshirt.” He laughed as she told him stories about her grandkids. He told her he couldn’t wait to have grandkids of his own, and he was surprised to hear himself saying that — and meaning it.

He then followed her to the repair shop — the only one in town still open on Christmas Eve — and insisted on paying to have the tire repaired.

“It’s not much,” he told the woman. “Consider it a Christmas gift. Just promise to spend the money I’ll save you on your wonderful grandkids.”

She promised. He waved good-bye, shouted “Merry Christmas” and hurried home. For the first time in a long time, he couldn’t wait to see his wife — and to give her a kiss.

The typically-gruff repair shop owner witnessed the man’s generosity, and was so impressed that he decided to spread a little generosity of his own. He gave his only employee the rest of the day off, with full pay and a holiday bonus. It was just a small bonus — after all, business had been slow — but it was more than what the young man had expected, which was nothing.

The blue-eyed mechanic was so thrilled he actually gave his surprised boss a hug as he wished him “happy holidays” and skipped out the door. Although the moment was awkward, it somehow seemed appropriate, and the repair shop owner was pleasantly amazed at how easily he could positively impact the attitude of an employee.

Now the baby-faced young man would have just enough time to get to the jewelry store before it closed, and just enough money to pay off the engagement ring on which he had been making payments for the last few months.

It was a Christmas present for his girlfriend, a thoughtful young woman with long, black hair. He was going to ask for her hand in marriage tonight, on Christmas Eve. He’d always been sweet to her, and she seemed to care about him an awful lot. He hoped and prayed that she would say yes.

When your girl has a smile as pretty as that, you don’t let her get away.

Merry Christmas, and don’t let the Scrooges and Grinches bring you down

12/13/2018

I love Christmas music. It’s OK if you don’t.

I understand if you hate it. I understand if you’re tired of hearing it. Some radio stations go overboard with it, and start playing Christmas songs in October, and I agree that’s pushing it.

So I change the station. If you hate Christmas music, I urge you to do the same. But please, let me enjoy it.

A handful of radio stations have taken the classic holiday song “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” off their Christmas playlists. That’s disappointing to me. The song is a lovely duet written in 1944. The complaint is that the song’s lyrics portray a man attempting to coerce a woman into having sex against her will. I suppose that’s a credible interpretation, but it isn’t my interpretation.

I try not to worry about it. I like the song, but if I never hear it again, my life will be no different, so I try to laugh it off.

At the same time, my preferred genre of music — when it’s not Christmas time — is heavy metal, so all my life, groups of people have been attempting to ban songs I like, for a variety of reasons — some valid, most not. So I take offense when someone else tells me what I should or shouldn’t listen to.

I listen to what I like. If I don’t like it, I don’t listen to it. It’s pretty easy.

That’s how I approach the Christmas season.

There have been similar complaints this year about the beloved traditional television movie, “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.” The claymation classic has been around since 1964, but for some reason this year there are a handful of people pointing out that the film contains bullying and bigotry, and Santa Claus himself is portrayed as being kind of a jerk.

This is not news. I’ve known this since I was a little kid. Rudolph and his weird little dentist-wannabe elf friend are bullied, and Santa is close-minded and crotchety. And then, in the end, Rudolph and the dentist-elf save Christmas. In between, there are a bunch of cute little songs. What’s the big deal? I enjoyed it, my kids enjoyed it, and my grandkids will enjoy it, so let’s leave it alone.

There are Scrooges and Grinches out there everywhere, who seem to have nothing better to do than try to ruin Christmas for the rest of us.

Then there are those who insist that their interpretation of Christmas is the only interpretation. Some will tell you that it’s too much about Christ, that we need to water down the religious aspects that turn people off. Others will say that there’s not enough Christ, that Christmas should only be a day of worship, that all the commercialism and secular traditions should be stopped.

Religious or secular? It’s completely up to each person, I just don’t like when that person insists that his way is the only way, and everyone else’s way is wrong.

As for me, my thought is that there’s nothing wrong with a little bit of both.

Then there are those people who insist on correcting my Christmas vocabulary. They get their Rudolph-decorated panties all in a bunch when I tell them “Happy Holidays.” They tell me that the proper greeting is “Merry Christmas,” and that when I say “Happy Holidays,” I’m declaring a “War on Christmas” and I’m part of some worldwide liberal conspiracy to “take Christ out of Christmas.”

Bless their little hearts. Aren’t they cute?

They think they are fighting political correctness, but the irony is, when they do this, they are being exponentially politically correct — and they aren’t self-aware enough to realize it.

I’ll wish them a Merry Christmas, a happy holiday, a quaint Kwanzaa, or a joyeux noel, or anything I want to wish them anyway. I honestly hope their days are merry and bright.

Because there really isn’t much about Christmas I don’t enjoy.

I love the snow. I don’t love shoveling it or driving in it, but I love looking at it.

I love the lights and decorations. I love that I have an eight-foot tall inflatable penguin in my front yard for about a month every year. His name is Opus.

What does an inflatable penguin have to do with Christmas? Probably nothing, but I love Opus anyway.

I love that my wife arranges a nativity scene every year, and decorates the house and the tree, and many of the ornaments on our tree are symbols of memories that mean a lot to her.

I love time with my family and my friends, playing games and watching football and singing songs and sometimes arguing with them. Sometimes I treasure the arguments most of all.

I love Dad’s Christmas prime rib and Mom’s Christmas soup or chili. I love all the sweets and treats and goodies.

I love getting presents and I love giving them, and I love the excitement of the kids — and how it’s contagious. Sometimes for a brief moment, a glimpse of how I felt at that age flashes through me.

I love how every Christmas, my mother-in-law reads the book “A Cup of Christmas Tea,” which is a tender story of a young man’s reluctant visit to an elderly aunt at Christmastime, and the unexpected joy it brings. She reads it aloud to the whole family, and I don’t know how closely the kids and spouses and grandkids and great grandkids are listening, but I am. And I love how it brings a tear to her eye as she reads, and a tear to mine as I listen.

I love watching the three greatest Christmas movies  — “It’s a Wonderful Life,” any version of “A Christmas Carol” — and the best Christmas movie of all — “Die Hard.”

Yes, “Die Hard” is a Christmas movie. You know why? Because I want it to be.
Did I mention I loved the songs?

I love Luke, Chapter 2. I love that Jesus and Mary and Joseph were poor, and without a place to stay, and the baby was wrapped in swaddling cloth and placed in a manger, among the beasts. I love the message of charity. I love that he was visited by strangers from far away, who offered gifts. A host of angels made a joyful noise so loud that it frightened shepherds, but the shepherds were told there was nothing to be afraid of. They were told to rejoice. To celebrate. I love that.

I love Christmas. It fills me with cheer.

And I love people who hate Christmas, I love people who want to ruin Christmas, and I love people who insist that my Christmas must be the same as their Christmas.
​

They make me laugh. Which also fills me with cheer.

Contested election draws Prichard into first political battle as minority leader

12/6/2018

By James Grob, jgrob@charlescitypress.com

One month after the election, there’s still one race in Iowa that is yet to be decided.

That race has drawn Todd Prichard, a Charles City Democrat, into his first political battle as the new Iowa House minority leader — and Prichard won’t even officially take the post until next month.

“This is my first political battle and first legal battle as minority leader,” Prichard said. “The bottom line is, this is about election integrity.”

Prichard owns Prichard Law Office in Charles City and has practiced law in the community since 2004. He was chosen to replace Mark Smith of Marshalltown as minority leader when when the House Democratic caucus met last month in Des Moines. He will start his fourth term in the Iowa House when the next legislative session begins in January. Prichard represents Iowa House District 52, which consists of Floyd, Chickasaw and the eastern third of Cerro Gordo counties.

As minority leader, Prichard is the chief spokesperson for the party on issues, and the contested house race in nearby Winneshiek County in northeast Iowa is a big one. Last week, Democrat Kayla Koether — Democratic candidate in Iowa House District 55 — sued Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate and Winneshiek County Auditor Ben Steines after they refused to count 33 mailed-in ballots in her race against Republican state Rep. Michael Bergan. Steines and Pate said the envelopes lacked a postmark that would indicate when they were mailed. Koether trails Bergan in the election by just nine votes out of more than 14,000 cast in the northeast Iowa district that includes Clayton, Fayette and Winneshiek counties.

“I come at this as an Iraq war vet,” said Prichard, who holds the rank of Major in the U.S. Army Reserve, served in the Army and has been deployed four times, including a tour in Iraq. “One of our biggest duties was to protect and promote legitimate elections. This situation flies in the face of that, and in the face of common sense.”

State law states that absentee ballots must be mailed no later than the day before the election to be counted. For ballots that arrive after Election Day, the law says officials can use either the postmark or an “intelligent mail barcode” to determine whether it was mailed on time. Court records indicate the envelopes containing the 33 ballots in question may have been too thick to run through the postmark machine. The envelopes do, however, contain a postal bar code on a lower edge that would likely show when they were mailed. A court ruling Monday gave Koether the right to determine whether the uncounted ballots were mailed on time.

“If the ballots were properly and timely mailed, the votes need to count,” Prichard said. “I’m disappointed it’s been so difficult to get the election officials to do what should be clear and obvious.”

Pate and Steines disagree, and argue that an “intelligent mail barcode” is a code that a county election official would place on the envelope. Only six of Iowa’s 99 counties use such a bar code to track absentee ballots.

“Absentee ballots that arrive after Election Day and do not contain postmarks, nor a county-specific Intelligent Mail Barcode, are not eligible to be counted,” Pate said.

“We think that guidance from the Secretary of State’s office is incorrect,” Prichard said.

More than 547,000 Iowans voted absentee in the recent election, when Democrats picked up five Iowa House seats to narrow Republican control, 53 to 46, excluding the contested seat. Pate’s position calls into question whether there were more votes — perhaps thousands of more votes — that were valid but never counted. Iowa officials acknowledge that the Postal Service does not put postmarks on all ballots, but it’s not clear how many ballots statewide might not have been counted because they lacked postmarks. A spokesman for Pate said the office does not know.

“Most elections aren’t this close, so they don’t receive the scrutiny this one has,” said Prichard, who added that the uncounted ballots are not a result of voter error, or even post office error. “It’s standard processing for the post office.”

On Monday, Polk County Judge Scott Beattie ordered officials to preserve the ballots and determine whether they were mailed on time. He did not rule on whether the ballots would ultimately be counted, and said that issue could be argued in court later.

“I look at it from a voter’s standpoint,” Prichard said. “If these were my ballots, I’d want them to be counted.”

The order requires Steines to work with the Postal Service to determine whether the postal bar codes contain the date ballots were placed in the mail, and if so, the information must be provided to the court and attorneys by Friday.

“The judge ruled that the ballots need to be preserved and the information from the bar codes needs to be made known,” Prichard said. “The bar code should have that information as to when the ballots entered the mail stream.”
Pate, however, said on Monday that Steines followed that law, and the Iowa State Canvassing Board officially certified the election results.

“Early this morning, the Honorable Scott J. Beattie issued his order denying Ms. Koether’s request to delay the certification of the November 6 election. Today, we officially certified those results,” Pate’s office said in a statement. “Winneshiek County Auditor Ben Steines followed the law. Iowa Code is clear on this matter.”

All the 33 ballots in question were received the day after the election. Prichard believes that would indicate they were likely mailed the day before the election, making them valid. He said that mail from Winneshiek County is processed in Waterloo, then returned to the county.

Prichard said that no one knows which candidates are checked on the ballots, so no one knows whether there would be enough votes for Koether to make up the nine-vote difference.
​

“We really have no idea what would happen with the final vote count,” Prichard said. “The larger issue is, every vote matters. If we’re serious about that, count the votes that were cast. It’s that simple.”
