AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoMissouri Primary Day: Polls opened Tuesday morning across Missouri for the Aug. 4 primary, with voters deciding Amendments 4 and 5 plus congressional races under newly drawn maps; election officials expect turnout to be unusually high, with one forecast putting it near 1.4 million statewide as ballot measures drive interest. Constitutional Amendments: Amendment 4 would make citizen-led constitutional changes harder by requiring approval in each of Missouri’s congressional districts, while Amendment 5 would phase out the state income tax and shift toward sales and use taxes. Local Governance: In Columbia, voters are weighing a 1% public safety sales tax to fund police and fire staffing, stations, and equipment; in Jefferson City, a separate sales tax renewal decision is on the ballot. Democratic Rematch: Missouri’s Democratic primary also features a high-profile rematch between Cori Bush and Wesley Bell, with outside money and Israel-related politics again shaping the contest. Election Logistics: Missouri requires photo ID at the polls, and counties report higher-than-usual absentee activity ahead of Election Day.
