Courtney: Audit needed for federal funds misused on Iowa voter purge
The chair of the Senate’s Government Oversight Committee today formally requested immediate state and federal audits of Iowa Secretary of State Matt Schultz’s misuse of federal funding for his high-profile voter purge campaign. In separate letters to Iowa State Auditor David Vaudt and the federal Office of Inspector General (U.S. Election Assistance Commission), State Senator Tom Courtney of Burlington stated that federal law requires Help America Vote Act (HAVA) funds to be used “for educating voters concerning voting procedures, voting rights and voting technology.”
