Not Loving Iowa Senate Numbers

Somehow, more Republicans voted in a more-or-less uncontested race for Ashley Hinson than Dems voted in a contested race between Turek and Wahls (two great candidates, by the way). Across the country, I think, we're seeing GOP turnout exceed expectations.

Disappointing.

Results for more populous areas that tend to be more politically diverse always come in later.
