Today is kick-off of early voting season in Iowa

October 8th, 2018 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) — Today (Monday) is the first day “early” voting is allowed in Iowa for the November election. Iowa Democrats are holding “First Voter Rallies” in a dozen counties. Troy Price, the chairman of the Iowa Democratic Party, will be speaking at events in Indianola, Ottumwa and Burlington. Price previewed his message to Democrats on Saturday during a party fundraiser in Des Moines. “It’s so important for each and every one of us to step up and leave nothing on the field thisNovember,” Price says.

Fred Hubbell, the Democratic Party’s nominee for governor, delivered a similar message to the 11-hundred Democrats who attended Saturday’s event in Des Moines. “We need you on the front lines. We need you knocking doors. We need you to spread the word and we need your vote,” Hubbell said.

Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller, a Democrat, says the stakes are clear. Democrats have lost the last two gubernatorial elections. There’s just one Democrat left in Iowa’s congressional delegation and Donald Trump easily won the state in 2016. “The trend line is clear. We’ve got to change that. We have the opportunity to do it, but the question is: ‘Will we?'”

The Iowa Republican Party has no special events planned today (Monday) to mark the kick-off of early voting.

World War II NE servicemen’s remains identified; remains to be buried in IA

October 8th, 2018 by Ric Hanson

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The remains of a Nebraska sailor who died at Pearl Harbor and a Nebraska soldier killed in during a World War II battle in Germany have been identified and are being returned for final burial.
Pentagon officials say 19-year-old Bernard Doyle died Dec. 7, 1941, aboard the battleship USS Oklahoma when the Japanese attacked. The Omaha World-Herald reports that Doyle joined the Navy in 1940, soon after graduating from high school in Red Cloud. His remains will be buried Saturday in Lake City, Iowa, where one of his sisters moved after the war.

The officials say Melvin Anderson enlisted in the U.S. Army a few months after the Pearl Harbor debacle. He and another soldier died Nov. 25, 1944, when a German artillery shell struck their tank destroyer. Anderson’s remains will be buried Friday at Omaha National Cemetery.
