iowa has become a red state. the majority of voters chose donald trump to be president of the united states. five of the six individuals representing iowa in washington are republicans. republicans will take control of the full legislature in january. the outcome of tuesday's election has left many iowans feeling fearful about the future of this state. so iowa, after the 2016 election, coming to this new reckoning. we are a red state now. and you can feel the sort of implicit next question. is that a permanent status? is this who we are now forever? but there followed an interesting twist in that story. a state senator had unexpectedly passed away right before the november election in 2016. iowa scheduled a special election to replace that senator and they scheduled that special for about a month and a half after the trump/clinton presidential election where iowa had gone so red. this is interesting. they actually scheduled that special election right in the middle of the holiday season. they scheduled it for two

i pointed out to her that my first debate on the floor of the iowa senate took me 7 1/2 hours before i got my bill passed. it was official english, by the way. it was a long, hard slog, to quote rumsfeld. but hers was entirely different. i thought there would be six, seven, eight, 10 hours of debate. and she brought the bill up, made eloquent opening remarks, rebutted a few of the remarks that were made on the other side and 24 minutes later, the vet went up on the board, 30-20, independent voted also and his name is david johnson, voted for the heart beat bill in the iowa senate along with all 29 republican senators. 30-20 on 24 minutes of debate and it rocketed over to the house of representatives and once again, i had the misconception of thinking to

terry rich and robbie porter at the iowa lottery were incredibly helpful, and reporters in wisconsin as well. we unraveled this thread piece by piece over the course of a few years. we just had the iowa ticket at first and had to go to trial knowing only about that ticket without a lot of the evidence that we would have preferred to have at the time. yet we were able to win that case, secure a couple of guilty verdicts and at that point we had a tip from someone in texas who told us that eddie tipton's brother had won the lottery in colorado about ten years earlier. we went to going from there for each successive ticket. >> martha: you knew after the first case when you got the hint that there was probably more, that if he had done it or pulled it off the one time, and it is interesting when you talk about all of the people that he worked with at the lottery organization, they looked at the video and help to you guys find him, right? and they were shocked that this guy that they worked with could be pulling this off. >> yes, it is an incredible story. people said things like, it was

for our state and iowa, we have three distinct audiences. we look at the guard as our probably larger audience for us because we don't have a lot of military bases, so we don't have the same perhaps you might see in other states so we have the guard and we still try to reach out to the traditional and then the families. that's the one i intend on growing more here in the future because quite often they are better at communicating and influencing their spouses or loved ones to remember to vote and what elections are coming pup. that's our focal point if you will in the future. we did spend some time extending the voting period. we passed a submarine bill, what we called it, to move the voting out to 120 days for those overseas and hazard pay areas. there's not a mailbox at every corner when stationed in some of these isolated areas and that's going to be a big push. we're right now about 80% of the folks who request an avocado -- that would be okay too -- i missed breakfast -- ukava ballot system. we're happy with that. i think it's a big ste

i hadn't been in iowa and missed it. but i heard a tv journalist made the rookie mistake of asking how she met bill, allowing hillary to filibuster with a story so immortalized in memoirs and popular clinton lore that i could recite it verbatim. oh, to gosh, it was 1971 at the yale law library. the interactions i'd had with hillary had almost all been by accident n. september she'd stopped in at the union dining car in laconia to shake hands. she met a high school french teacher who introduced hillary to half a dozen of her students who wanted a photo. when hillary pivot to make sure she'd posed with all the students, she looked at me and said she's not in the class, this one i know, she's not in the class. she may speak french, but she's not in the class. shortly before that encounter, i'd written a story looking ahead to the fall. i interviewed aides in the brooklyn campaign headquarters about their new efforts to bring spontaneity to a candidacy that sometimes seemed wooden and overly cautious. the campaign brass want
