Donald Trump’s lawsuit against Iowa pollster J. Ann Selzer and The Des Moines Register will now be in Iowa State Court in a win for Donald Trump.
President Donald Trump notched a legal victory Friday in his lawsuit against Iowa pollster J. Ann Selzer and The Des Moines Register, and the case will now land in Iowa State Court after an appeals court sided with the president and ruled a lower court had overstepped.
Trump’s legal team, which has accused the defendants of “brazen election interference” with their final 2024 Iowa presidential poll that showed him trailing Democrat Kamala Harris, originally requested the case be moved to Iowa State Court in May after the defendants “removed” the case to federal court.
A federal judge denied the request at the time, but the Obama-appointed judge was overruled by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit.
In a sharply worded opinion, the 8th Circuit granted Trump’s petition for a writ of mandamus — a rare judicial order used to correct clear legal errors — and directed a district judge to treat the case as dismissed “without prejudice,” allowing Trump to refile the case.
Trump sued The Des Moines Register and pollster J. Ann Selzer for publishing a poll that showed Kamala Harris leading Donald Trump in Iowa 47% to 44% before the election.
Trump won Iowa by 56% to 43%.
Missouri Independent reported:
President-elect Donald Trump is suing The Des Moines Register and pollster J. Ann Selzer for publishing a poll that showed Vice President Kamala Harris leading in Iowa in the days before the 2024 election, claiming the poll amounted to “fraud and election interference.”
…
The lawsuit alleges that the poll, which showed Harris leading Trump among likely Iowa voters 47% to 44%, was published three days before the election as an attempt to “create a false narrative of inevitability for Harris in the final week of the 2024 Presidential Election.”
Trump won Iowa with 56% of the vote to Harris’ 43%. The lawsuit alleges that the Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll was not merely an inaccurate poll, but was an intentional “move with “corrupt intent” to aid Democrats.
