After its workers faced threats and harassment from a polarized public during the last election cycle, Iowa’s Campaign Ethics and Disclosure Board wants to discuss whether more should be done to protect those responsible for determining whether campaign laws have been broken.

Goodrich said the threatening and hateful remarks came from both the right and the left this year, but especially from believers in internet conspiracy theories. Some were upset that those who regulate campaign reporting and investigate complaints didn’t do more to look into questions raised about local races. But many times, behavior reported as bothersome is not illegal under Iowa Code. Tap the link in our bio for more on this story. #Iowa #Elections #IApolitics #IAvotes
