An investigation into the distribution of narcotics in Montgomery County resulted in the arrest Tuesday afternoon, of three people from Red Oak. The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office reports 37-year-old Jessica Lynn Boyce and 41-year-old Brooke Rena Scott face charges that include three felony counts each, of delivery of methamphetamine. 51-year-old Jean Marie Noyes was charged two separate felony counts including delivery of methamphetamine, as well as possession of methamphetamine with intent to deliver.

All three women were being held without bond in the Montgomery County Jail.

(Radio Iowa) – Secretary of State Paul Pate says his survey of county auditors indicates voter turn-out today (Tuesday) is pretty strong — and he says there’s no doubt Iowa will set a significant record for voter participation this year after the massive number of early ballots that were cast. “Most certainly with over 996,970 absentee ballots in as of yesterday — clearly we’ll be over a million on that side alone and then you haven’t seen a dip today as far as the turnout,” Pate says.

“Usually you have highs and lows. Early in the morning — a lot of voters, then it kind of dips and then you come back up for lunch, but it’s stayed consistent.” Pate says some of the best news he’s gotten today is that election officials in Iowa’s largest counties were able to tabulate all the absentee ballots that were delivered to the county auditors’ offices by the close of business Monday.

“Of course they have new ones that might be straggling in, but the big one, the big lift is pretty much all done in Scott County and Polk County,” Pate says. “And a lot of the other smaller counties have all reported all of theirs are counted as well.” None of those results will be announced until after the polls close at 9 p.m., but Pate says getting a million absentee ballots tabulated allays fears about delayed results.

“It takes away some of that concern people had about: ‘Will we have the results tonight?’ Well, clearly we will,” Pate says. “When you have the biggest counties that have already tabulated theirs, it’s a pretty good sign because in smaller counties, their lift is a little easier to attain and so I’m pretty confident they’ll all have their tallies done, so before 10 o’clock tonight, we’ll have those preliminary results.”

In 2012, one-million-589-thousand ballots were cast in the state, which is the current and, according to Pate, about to be broken voter turn-out record.
