DES MOINES — Iowa’s 2024 general election results are official — including the recount in an Eastern Iowa congressional district — after a state panel’s certification Monday. The Iowa Board of Canvass, which is comprised of top state officials, met Monday via telephone to officially certify the state’s election results. The certification nearly completes the Nov. 5 elections in Iowa. The state’s presidential electors will meet later this month to commit Iowa’s six Electoral College votes to Republican President-elect Donald Trump, who won the state. The state Canvass Board is made up of the governor, Secretary of State, Auditor, Treasurer and Secretary of Agriculture. The certification puts the final, official seal of approval on Iowa’s election results, including recounts. People are also reading... One such recount was in Southeast Iowa’s 1st Congressional District, where Republican incumbent Mariannette Miller-Meeks won reelection over Democratic challenger Christina Bohannan. Miller-Meeks appeared to win reelection when unofficial results reported shortly after the election showed her ahead by 802 votes. She declared victory, but Bohannan asked for a recount. After a full recount in the 20-county district, which includes Scott and Muscatine counties, the official results certified by the Canvass Board confirmed Miller-Meeks’ victory, by 799 votes out of more than 427,000 cast. Iowans cast 1,674,011 votes in the presidential election, according to the certified results. That just trails the just more than 1.7 million cast in the 2020 presidential election, which is the state’s all-time high. Voter turnout for the 2024 general election was 74.1%, Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate said Monday. He called that turnout “impressive and significant.” It also slightly trailed 2020 turnout, which was 75.8%. During the brief Canvass Board meeting, Pate praised Iowa’s voters and local elections officials. He said their work helped ensure Iowa’s elections were “safe, fair and accurate.” “The commitment of our officials, the diligence of our election workers and the engagement of our citizens are what makes this process possible,” Pate said during the meeting. “From our 99 county auditors to the 10,000-plus poll workers — your friends and neighbors — we have the best of the best serving their communities, working long hours on Election Day and doing their part to ensure fair elections across the state,” Pate said. “Our local election officials are some of the hardest working Iowans.” Gov. Kim Reynolds praised Pate and elections officials for continuing to “uphold the integrity of the election process in the state of Iowa.” The certified results displayed a shift in partisan voter behavior: more Republicans than Democrats voted early in Iowa in the 2024 general election. Republicans cast 268,899 early votes in Iowa this fall; Democrats cast 257,634 early votes, according to the certified results. Historically, more Democrats have voted early while more Republicans have voted on Election Day. That script flipped in Iowa this year. Pate said that could be explained by many variables, but noted in particular Republicans’ focus on early voting this year in contrast to the 2020 presidential election, when Trump frequently criticized early voting — without evidence — as being rife with fraud. “There was resistance four years ago to vote absentee by the Republican Party, to some extent, but I think they got much more comfortable with that, and that shifted (the early voting results),” Pate told reporters. Pate also noted that the shift in voter behavior only really changed the timing of the votes, not the overall totals. While the early voting trends flipped, Pate noted, overall turnout was down less than 2 percentage points. “If you look at the trends from 2016 to today, voter turnout still is about the same. It’s just the method in which they choose to do it,” Pate said. “I’ve always said this: Voter turnout is not something my office gets to really control. It’s really based on the candidate and the messaging.” Iowa’s presidential electors will meet Dec. 17 to commit the state’s six Electoral College votes to Trump. The president-elect defeated Democrat Kamala Harris by 13.1 percentage points in the state. The presidential electors are selected by the state’s political parties during their respective conventions. They are bound by state law to cast the state’s Electoral College votes for the candidate who received the most votes in the state. Get Government & Politics updates in your inbox!

Julia Bradbury said she has become more focused on her health than she has ever been after “death looked her in the eyes”. The 54-year-old TV presenter revealed in 2021 that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer and later underwent a mastectomy during which her breast plus two lymph glands were removed before reconstruction took place. Bradbury has since stopped drinking alcohol and has changed the priorities in her life, but revealed she has received some pushback on social media from sharing her approach. She told The Times Weekend magazine: “I wasn’t close to death, but death looked me in the eyes. So I am more focused on my health than I ever have been. “I don’t drink, I eat a healthy diet and exercise every day. “When I came home from my mastectomy, I promised I would spend time outside every day, and that is my mantra, however poor it might be in this shitty winter.” Bradbury, who has since been given the all-clear, said a doctor recently helped her reframe how she utilises her energy. She recalled: “He said, ‘This drive that you have – you’re running on a credit card. You can push through all sorts of things. But is that the best thing for you?’. “I realised you don’t have to win every race. You don’t have to overcome everything. I don’t want to max out the credit card.” The presenter previously discussed her experience in an ITV documentary, Julia Bradbury: Breast Cancer And Me, which followed her as she came to terms with her diagnosis and prepared to undergo her single mastectomy. She also regularly shares her wellness and fitness tips with her more than 270,000 Instagram followers. However, she revealed she has had pushback from people saying, “I was healthy, I go to the gym, I got cancer, and now its metastasised and I’ve got secondary cancer. So are you blaming me for my illness?”. A post shared by JULIA BRADBURY (@juliabradbury) Responding to the accusations, she added: “No. All I’m saying is, this is what I went through. It was a wake-up call, and it made me look at life differently. “It made me prioritise my sleep, emotional health, and give more time to my loved ones. “If I drink more than four units of alcohol a week, my risk of reoccurrence goes up by 28%. But people find me giving up drinking infuriating.” Bradbury, who has a 13-year-old son Zephyr, and nine-year-old twins Xanthe and Zena, said having children later in life has caused her to not be as “patient” as she feels she should be at times after becoming more set in her own ways. “People think that after you’ve got a cancer diagnosis, you become this beautiful angel with a halo, and a super mum and do everything right”, she added. “But no, you make the same mistakes. I lose my temper, and I can hear myself saying things that I can’t believe I’m saying. “None of us know what we’re doing, really. We’re just doing our best. I know they do have lots of love. They are told that they’re loved every day.”

They wouldn't have done it without Sellers, who spun away from a defender in the backfield, broke through the line and cut left on his way to the winning score. Sellers rushed for 166 yards and threw for 164 in South Carolina's second straight win at Clemson. Gus Malzahn is leaving UCF to become Florida State's offensive coordinator, AP source says Gus Malzahn is resigning as Central Florida’s head coach to become Florida State’s offensive coordinator.

The Knights made official that Malzahn is leaving in a statement released a day after UCF concluded its season with a 28-14 loss to Utah. Malzahn finished with a 28-24 mark in four years at UCF, the last two ending with losing records. He coached at Auburn for eight seasons before being fired in 2020.

Former Nebraska head coach Scott Frost has landed his first college job since his time with the Huskers, and it's a familiar location. Frost is set to take over at UCF, the program he coached from 2016-17 before heading to Nebraska, according to multiple reports. 247Sports and The Orlando Sentinel reported the news Saturday. Previous reported indicated that UCF was down to two candidates, Frost and UNLV head coach Barry Odom, in its quest to replace the fired Gus Malzahn. The Knights chose to reunite with Frost over the 48-year-old Odom, who led UNLV to a 10-win season this fall. Frost rebuilt a UCF football program coming off a winless season into a six-win squad, then a 13-0 team during the 2017 season which stands as the best in UCF's program history. Frost had been out of the college game since his firing at Nebraska in September 2022. He compiled a 16-31 record at his alma mater, completing four losing seasons before being fired three games into the 2022 campaign. The former Nebraska head coach's first job since was with the Los Angeles Rams this fall, where he briefly worked as an analyst. Having failed to rebuild at Nebraska, the 49-year-old Frost now returns to the school where he thrived as an up-and-coming offensive coach. Get local news delivered to your inbox!MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin public worker and teachers unions scored a major legal victory Monday with a ruling that restores collective bargaining rights they lost under a 2011 state law that sparked weeks of protests and made the state the center of the national battle over union rights. That law, known as Act 10, effectively ended the ability of most public employees to bargain for wage increases and other issues, and forced them to pay more for health insurance and retirement benefits. Under the ruling by Dane County Circuit Judge Jacob Frost, all public sector workers who lost their collective bargaining power would have it restored to what was in place prior to 2011. They would be treated the same as the police, firefighter and other public safety unions that were exempted under the law. Republicans vowed to immediately appeal the ruling, which ultimately is likely to go before the Wisconsin Supreme Court. That only amplifies the importance of the April election that will determine whether the court remains controlled 4-3 by liberal justices. Former Gov. Scott Walker, who proposed the law that catapulted him onto the national political stage, decried the ruling in a post on the social media platform X as “brazen political activism.” He said it makes the state Supreme Court election “that much more important.” Supporters of the law have said it provided local governments more control over workers and the powers they needed to cut costs. Repealing the law, which allowed schools and local governments to raise money through higher employee contributions for benefits, would bankrupt those entities, backers of Act 10 have argued. Democratic opponents argue that the law has hurt schools and other government agencies by taking away the ability of employees to collectively bargain for their pay and working conditions. The law was proposed by Walker and enacted by the Republican-controlled Legislature in spite of massive protests that went on for weeks and drew as many as 100,000 people to the Capitol. The law has withstood numerous legal challenges over the years, but this was the first brought since the Wisconsin Supreme Court flipped to liberal control in 2023. The seven unions and three union leaders that brought the lawsuit argued that the law should be struck down because it creates unconstitutional exemptions for firefighters and other public safety workers. Attorneys for the Legislature and state agencies countered that the exemptions are legal, have already been upheld by other courts, and that the case should be dismissed. But Frost sided with the unions in July, saying the law violates equal protection guarantees in the Wisconsin Constitution by dividing public employees into “general” and “public safety” employees. He ruled that general employee unions, like those representing teachers, can not be treated differently from public safety unions that were exempt from the law. His ruling Monday delineated the dozens of specific provisions in the law that must be struck. Wisconsin Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos said he looked forward to appealing the ruling. “This lawsuit came more than a decade after Act 10 became law and after many courts rejected the same meritless legal challenges,” Vos said in a statement. Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce, the state's largest business lobbying organization, also decried the ruling. WMC President Kurt Bauer called Act 10 “a critical tool for policymakers and elected officials to balance budgets and find taxpayer savings." The Legislature said in court filings that arguments made in the current case were rejected in 2014 by the state Supreme Court. The only change since that ruling is the makeup of Wisconsin Supreme Court, attorneys for the Legislature argued. The Act 10 law effectively ended collective bargaining for most public unions by allowing them to bargain solely over base wage increases no greater than inflation. It also disallowed the automatic withdrawal of union dues, required annual recertification votes for unions, and forced public workers to pay more for health insurance and retirement benefits. The law was the signature legislative achievement of Walker, who was targeted for a recall election he won. Walker used his fights with unions to mount an unsuccessful presidential run in 2016. Frost, the judge who issued Monday's ruling, appeared to have signed the petition to recall Walker from office. None of the attorneys sought his removal from the case and he did not step down. Frost was appointed to the bench by Democratic Gov. Tony Evers, who signed the Walker recall petition. The law has also led to a dramatic decrease in union membership across the state. The nonpartisan Wisconsin Policy Forum said in a 2022 analysis that since 2000, Wisconsin had the largest decline in the proportion of its workforce that is unionized. In 2015, the GOP-controlled Wisconsin Legislature approved a right-to-work law that limited the power of private-sector unions. Public sector unions that brought the lawsuit are the Abbotsford Education Association; the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Locals 47 and 1215; the Beaver Dam Education Association; SEIU Wisconsin; the Teaching Assistants’ Association Local 3220 and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 695.

Shekar Kapur, who was appointed as the director of the International Film Festival of India (IFFI), shares that he accepted the position because of his love for films. “How could I not support the Indian film industry? However, I think we have a way to go,” he says. In this exclusive conversation, the veteran filmmaker speaks about creative freedom, business side of the film industry, and more Excerpts: A filmmaker should have a belief system. If it’s because of abusive content, then what is it? There is nothing like that. I don’t put anything in the abusive content category. Didn’t I make Bandit? We fought censorship. Then it was released. Then there was a case in the High Court. The film was banned. Subsequently, we went to the Supreme Court, where we won. We succeeded because of the Indian Constitution. It was written in the Constitution that nothing can be pornographic if it is good for the Government and society. We were accused of pornography. We were accused of everything. If I could make it then, I would make it now. But then you have to fight. You can’t just keep grudging. You have to fight. I’ll join you. You go ahead. We are a country in the throes of change. How many people do we have? 1.3 billion. How many cultures? How many states? We are still forming as a nation. There is turmoil and chaos in formation. We are a democracy. Otherwise, the country would have fallen apart. If we don’t protest, how will we think ahead? I am now making a film called 'Paani'. Before that, I made 'Masoom'. Art is like that. That’s how it grows. Rebellion causes art. It is an artist’s right to rebel. How will you do it? My parents didn’t tell me to make a film. They told me to get a job. First, there was rebellion. Then there was art. Then the rebellion kept on going. Every film cannot become a business proposition. But that’s the problem with our industry. Every film is looked upon in terms of the money it has made. That’s not a film. That’s an industry. Filmmaking or film industry? It’s a different thing. Reason for making 'Masoom 2'? When I made Masoon, I knew nothing. I was a chartered accountant. I was naive and knew nothing about filmmaking. It was a simple human story. I want to bring back that experience. I don’t know what is happening. I don’t know how to do it. I am looking for new ways to make the film. It took me ten years to write the script. We will start shooting in March next year.
