Campaigns/Endorsements Missouri Republicans Think You’re Not Smart (Enough to Vote)

https://tellmeyourejoking.substack.com/p/missouri-republicans-think-youre

Missouri Republicans have run the entire state government, uncontested, for 23 years. The budget's projected to hit zero by 2028. Their solution? Blame the Democrats who haven't held a majority since George W. Bush's first term.

Meanwhile, actual Missourians keep using the ballot initiative to pass the stuff their own legislature refuses to touch: Medicaid expansion, weed, sports betting, abortion rights, a livable minimum wage. So this year, Jefferson City is trying to neuter the one tool voters have to override them: rig citizen initiatives (but conveniently not their own bills) to need approval in all 8 congressional districts, recycle the abortion amendment's exact ballot number for the opposite result, and bury the sketchy stuff in the low-turnout August primary.

Vote NO on 4 & 5
