Iowa Retention Vote, by County

The Des Moines Register, using data from the Iowa Secretary of State, has reported that 89 of Iowa's 99 counties voted to remove all three Supreme Court justices up for retention. Nine counties kept all three justices. One, Clinton, kept Streit and Ternus, but turned out Baker.

Sixty percent of the 10 most populated counties voted to keep all three judges.

Iowa Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal, our best friend in Iowa politics, lives in Pottawattamie County, which, as you can see, voted against all three judges, and is part of Steve King's congressional district. Gronstal's Iowa senate district, 50 includes Carter Lake (now on the Nebraska side of the Missouri River, which changed course) as well as Council Bluffs, the site of Google's new $600 million data center. Hey Googlers! Give Mike some cash!
