Iowa Republicans want to change how voters elect supervisors in Democratic-leaning counties

Iowa Republicans have pushed forward a bill that would change how county supervisors are elected in three Democratic-leaning counties, including Johnson County.

The House on Tuesday debated a bill passed by the Senate that would require Iowa's five counties with 125,000 residents or more to elect their supervisors by equal-population districts, rather than being elected countywide.

Senate File 443, which was temporarily deferred, was amended in the House to instead only apply to three counties — Black Hawk, Johnson and Story — that are home to Iowa's three public universities.
