Rapp, who was the apparent winner of the nomination after the June 4 primary, had his lead of 62 votes trimmed to only 10 after the results from three Tama County precincts were thrown out. The special election was called when a suit was filed in federal court in Cedar Rapids on behalf of Indians on the Mesquakie Indian Settlement claiming there had been no polling place set up for the Indians and in three other precincts which surround the settlement.

Zander said 26 years ago the Air Force assigned a task force with the code name "Project Sign" to study UFOs and issue a documented report.
