The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit denied both panel and en banc rehearing bids by pollster J. Ann Selzer and Gannett, leaving in place a prior mandamus that directed the district court to dismiss without prejudice so President Donald Trump can refile his ‘election interference’ lawsuit in Iowa state court. The case targets Selzer and The Des Moines Register over their final 2024 Iowa poll; the defendants had removed to federal court, a move the Eighth Circuit effectively unwound.
