Oh, good morning folks.
Compare the reassurances I got from the Iowa Democratic Party, about both app training and the phone line, to the reality experienced by at least one Iowa county. washingtonpost.com/politics/iowa-… 
Again, compare the talking points that IDP gave me and other reporters to the reality. nytimes.com/2020/02/03/us/…
