Missouri Voters Fight Ballot Threats | St. Louis News

Missouri voters are mobilizing across the state to block two controversial ballot measures before the August primary—Amendment Four, which would make it exponentially harder for citizen initiatives to pass by requiring district-by-district majorities, and Amendment Five, which would phase out the state’s income tax without a clear plan to replace the lost revenue, risking higher sales taxes. Rallies erupted in St. Louis, Kansas City, Columbia, and Springfield as groups like Action St. Louis and Missouri Jobs with Justice Voter Action warn these amendments threaten voting rights and vital public services. With the August 4 election looming, organizers are urging citizens to educate themselves and vote wisely on these high-stakes proposals.
