Right wing wins again

It looks like the right to bear arms amendment will pass.I voted against it but right now Is Is ahead.

Which means anyone will have right to carry gun at all times.

Again it shows how far right the state has gone

It's a matter of bringing it back to sanity.

Perhaps a "Moral Monday"-type movement?

But have been out of the state for 30 years, but I'm still from Missouri (along with a grad from MU). We used to have such good politicians: Symington, Long, Eagleton, Bolling.

The Sales Tax for transportation seems to be going down (as I had hoped) the other amendments are a mixed bag. May take a bit longer to get all the results.

My biggest concern was voter turn out. My hopes were for the biggest turn out possible no matter the results. People of all parties and persuasions need to send a message that they will get out and vote.
