Not saying it is correct however Iowa has two large universities that I know of and have spent time at. Iowa received large numbers of refugees from Illinois/Chicago who continue to vote D. Thus the large cities such as Davenport, Des Moines, Iowa city, Ames, Cedar Rapids and others tend to have the same effect on Iowa as Chicago does on Illinois. A negative one.

Not saying it is correct however Iowa has two large universities that I know of and have spent time at. IA has taken in large numbers of refugees from IL/Chicago in who are stupid enough to continue to vote for the same shit. Thus the larger cities such as Davenport, Des Moines, Iowa city, Ames, Cedar Rapids and others tend to have the same effect on Iowa politics as Chicago does on the rest of Illinois. A negative one.
