Saturday Clips

There's only one story in Iowa City today, of course, but here's a few other things:

  • It's an administrative recount Monday in University Heights to double-check the two vote margin. The best part here: In the Iowa Code, recounts are covered under section 50.50. Think about it a moment.

  • Steve King does it again, attending a teabagger rally instead of voting.

  • And while I'm still gloomy about Maine voting no on marriage equality, there's literally hope for the future in this graph. The takeaway quote: "Even in states that we normally consider quite hostile to gay rights, there is still a significant age difference: 18-29 year-olds in Alabama, for example, are more supportive of gay marriage than people 65 and older in Massachusetts."
