What's the matter with Iowa? GOP legislative leaders are not listening to constituents

Majorities of Iowans oppose changing Iowa’s law to allow presidential candidates convicted of felonies to appear on the ballot or to ban the use of drop boxes to return absentee ballots. 
A narrow majority also oppose efforts to restrict challenges to whether presidential candidates can appear on the Iowa ballot, like the kinds of efforts states around the country have attempted to disqualify former President Donald Trump from running for president again. 
But a majority of Iowans favor requiring mail-in ballots to be received by the county auditor by the close of business the day before Election Day, one day earlier than current law. 
The results from the new Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll come as lawmakers consider a wide-ranging election bill that would make all four changes to state law.  [emphasis added]
