Loebsack and the ballot
It's a bump in the road, sure. But Dave Loebsack gets on the ballot through a convention.
The ballot access standard for congressional candidates is based on top of the ticket votes the previous cycle. In a presidential year, it's easy: the numbers are based on the lower-turnout gubernatorial race, and the higher-turnout presidential caucuses usually take care of it. But in the off-year, the bar is based on presidential votes and thus is higher, and caucus turnout is much, much lower.
The Register has a roundup of other contested races, too.
