DES MOINES – Iowa GOP Chairman Jeff Kaufmann released the following statement on the Iowa Democrat Party's mail-in ballot results: 

"The Iowa Democrat Party continues to kowtow to Joe Biden and liberal party insiders, putting their interests ahead of Iowans' best interests. 

"The Iowa GOP Caucus held in January, was a lively, grassroots-driven, transparent model of democracy. Preserving Iowa's first-in-the-nation status ensures that literally anyone can be president. Now more than ever, it's important that those who want to run our country are not just crowned by the establishment, but rather that the grassroots of each party decide who their nominee should be. 

"The Democrat enthusiasm for their new-fangled mail-in caucus was pathetic - almost as pathetic as their election losses in November will be."
