Misspent voting funds

A federal audit shows Iowa broke federal rules by misspending 2.5 million dollars in voting funds. Money was spent on entertainers, a gala, travel, get-out-the-vote radio advertisements, and other items. Secretary of State Micahel Mauro says the state won't have to repay the bulk of the money. After a deal with the election commission, repayments will amount to about 220 thousand dollars.
