DES MOINES – “Today I was shown a piece of literature from the Cruz
for President campaign that misrepresents the role of my office, and
worse, misrepresents Iowa election law. Accusing citizens of Iowa of a
“voting violation” based on Iowa Caucus participation, or lack thereof,
is false representation of an official act. There is no such thing as an
election violation related to frequency of voting. Any insinuation or
statement to the contrary is wrong and I believe it is not in keeping in
the spirit of the Iowa Caucuses.
Additionally, the Iowa Secretary of State’s Office never “grades”
voters. Nor does the Secretary of State maintain records related to Iowa
Caucus participation. Caucuses are organized and directed by the state
political parties, not the Secretary of State, nor local elections
officials. Also, the Iowa Secretary of State does not “distribute” voter
records. They are available for purchase for political purposes only,
under Iowa Code.” – Paul D. Pate, Iowa Secretary of State
