Iowa conservative seeking to gain from Mollie Tibbetts case fails to make ballot

An attempt to add a conservative candidate to the ballot for Iowa attorney general appears to have failed, dealing a blow to rightwingers seeking to make the death of student Mollie Tibbetts an election issue in November. 'This is about Mollie': many who knew Tibbetts reject Trump's politicising of murder Read more Tibbetts, 20, was out running near Brooklyn, Iowa when she was last seen, on the evening of 18 July. A funeral mass was held for Tibbetts on Sunday, in the gymnasium of BGM high school in Brooklyn, a city of 1,500 where she grew up. Hundreds of people attended. Bishop Thomas Zinkula of Davenport, Iowa, led proceedings. Cristhian Bahena Rivera is charged with first-degree murder in Tibbetts’ death. Investigators say the 24-year-old Mexican farmworker led them to a cornfield Tuesday where Tibbetts’ body had been left since her July 18 disappearance. If we can be blocked by Manafort-Cohen, etc, then GOP could lose [the] House badly.” Despite appeals by Tibbetts family members and friends that such nakedly political activity should stop, an attempt was mounted locally to put Patrick Anderson, of Des Moines, on the Iowa ballot for attorney general as a non-party candidate. The incumbent Democratic attorney general, Tom Miller, is running unopposed. The attempt to run Anderson therefore planned to list “GOP” beside his name.
