Iowa voters got fake texts posing as officials; state warns against sharing personal info.
Iowa voters in Franklin, Johnson, and Madison counties received fraudulent text messages impersonating officials and candidates, prompting Secretary of State Paul Pate to warn of election-related scams.
The messages, which asked recipients to reply with their top community concerns, were not legitimate and may aim to collect personal information.
Officials stressed that real election communications never request sensitive data via text and urged voters to verify information through official channels like county auditors or the Secretary of State’s website.
No such messages have been reported in Linn County, and early voting began October 15 ahead of the November 4, 2025, elections.
