Iowa Elector Ready to Cast Ballot for President

One of the six Iowa REPUBLICANS chosen to cast votes in the Electoral College this year says he WILL support Donald Trump if Trump wins Iowa. Don Kass lives near Remsen in northwest Iowa’s Plymouth County.

Iowa’s six “electors” will gather in December and it will be Kass and five other Republicans if Trump wins the state. If Clinton wins Iowa, “electors” from the Iowa DEMOCRATIC Party will cast the state’s six Electoral College votes. Kass says the process forces the candidates to pay attention to the entire country, not just the nation’s most populous states.

In 2004, Kass was one of the country’s 286 “electors” who kept George W. Bush in the White House for a second term. To win, a presidential candidate must get at least 270 votes in the Electoral College.
