DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate is assuring Iowans that the state’s election is not rigged and says Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s claims of voter fraud only confuse voters. Monday’s comments by Pate, a Republican, were in response to Trump’s remarks and comments by Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad. Branstad said he agrees with the GOP nominee’s statements that there are efforts to cheat the system and that national media organizations are “colluding” with Clinton.

Branstad, a Republican whose son leads Trump’s Iowa campaign, said media bias and voter fraud are “one in the same.” Branstad expressed confidence in efforts of election officials to hold a clean election in Iowa, but added, “Nobody’s perfect.” An Iowa Democratic Party spokesman says it’s shocking Branstad didn’t reject Trump’s assertions.

AMES, Iowa (AP) – Iowa State University is shielding the names of several people who have traveled with President Steven Leath, including his best friend, a National Rifle Association Board member and a controversial athletics booster.

The university last week released records of flights that Leath took in the last 2 1/2 years, but redacted names of passengers who joined Leath on trips. His travel has come under scrutiny following an investigation by The Associated Press.

The university said the names were exempt from the open records law since they are current or potential donors. That position drew criticism from the Iowa Freedom of Information Council, which said the redactions make it impossible to judge the legitimacy of Leath’s travel.

The AP obtained passenger names from flight records that had been online.
