DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Two county auditors say Iowa election officials were told to follow Iowa’s new voter identification law despite a judge’s order blocking some provisions. Polk County Auditor Jamie Fitzgerald and Linn County Auditor Joel Miller say Ken Kline, deputy commissioner of elections, told auditors at a meeting Thursday they shouldn’t follow a temporary injunction issued Wednesday by a judge. A Secretary of State spokesman later said officials weren’t aware the injunction had taken effect.

NORTH LIBERTY, Iowa (AP) — A North Liberty man has been sentenced to 35 years in prison for orchestrating a murder-for-hire scheme.

BROOKLYN, Iowa (AP) — Investigators say they have searched a pig farm and other places in east-central Iowa near where a University of Iowa student went missing, but have turned up no sign of her. KCCI-TV reports the pig farm is near Guernsey, about 15 minutes from 20-year-old Mollie Tibbetts’ hometown of Brooklyn, Iowa. Tibbetts was last seen July 18 jogging in Brooklyn near her boyfriend’s home, where she was dog-sitting. Authorities say Tibbetts’ boyfriend has been ruled out as a suspect.
