Iowa Caucus Voting Process Questioned Amid Controversy

Despite Criticism, Trump Wins 2024 Iowa Caucus

Video footage of the Iowa Caucus showing voters placing their ballots into a brown paper bag sparked controversy and raised questions about the integrity of the voting process.
Social media users criticized the process, comparing it unfavorably to high school student government elections and questioning its security.
Kelley Koch, the Republican chair of Dallas County, where the votes in the video were being tallied, clarified that the ballots were preprinted with a watermark and voters were required to show identification.
The paper bags were used as a simple vote-gathering mechanism and the process had been prepared for over five months.
Despite the controversy, Donald Trump won the 2024 Iowa Caucus.
