Iowa results: Far more Democrats turned out than Republicans for the race.

In IA-1 and IA-3, the Democratic candidates for the election will be women, Abby Finkenauer and Cindy Axne. If either woman is elected, she will become the first Congresswoman ever elected from Iowa. (The first woman ever elected to a federal position was Joni Ernst in 2014.)

Incumbent Rep. Rod Blum in IA-1 ran unopposed and got 14,000+ votes. Ms. Finkenauer ran against three candidates and got 29,000+ (the total for IA-1 Democrats was 44,134). Republican turnout might have been depressed with only one choice to vote for in IA-1 through 3.

Incumbent Representative Dave Loebsack (D) took twice as many votes in IA-3 as Dave Young (R). Cindy Axne in IA-2 took more votes (running against three candidates) than Christopher Peters (R)

The only Republican House race with a competitor was IA-4, where Steve King defeated his female challenger 27,000+ to 9,000+. Three Democrats ran in IA-4, gaining a total of 28,339 votes; JD Schloten won that contest.

Numbers like that show IA-1 and IA-2 are flippable, and possibly IA-4, if interest in the General Election is high. I would dearly love to see Blum (R-cypher) and King (R-acist) ousted from the state next door.
