Sand, Iowa’s only statewide-elected democrat, handed out pizza to voters waiting in line to vote early on Monday.

The complaint claims this was unethical and possibly criminal as a public official. It says Iowa law prohibits handing out food to voters on Election day.

However, Sand’s office says the statute only applies to Election Day, not the day before.
