Iowa won’t have to repay Uncle Sam any of the $2.5 million in misspent voting funds, even though federal rules were broken. Audits found state elections officials misspent money on entertainers, a gala, travel, get-out-the-vote radio ads, and more. They ended up with $221-grand that couldn't be cleared. Secretary of State Mike Mauro says the state asked the feds for a credit for expenses that were eligible for federal voting funds, but that Mauro chose to cover with state money. The feds said yes.
