Missouri Republicans tried to make voter-initiated constitutional amendments impossible by requiring passage in every congressional district instead of just statewide. Voters rejected the amendment in not just every congressional district but every county too. Trump won all but four counties there

New York Times election results graphic for Missouri's Amendment 4. "No" is marked with a check as the winner, with 1,123,264 votes, or 80.3%. "Yes" has 275,157 votes, or 19.7%. Total reported: 1,398,421. Below, a county map of Missouri shades results from teal for Yes to orange for No, with the darkest shades indicating margins of 70% or more. Kansas City, Columbia, St. Louis, and Springfield are labeled. Every county is shaded orange for No, and no county is teal. The great majority are at the darkest orange level of 70% or more, including all counties around Kansas City, Columbia, St. Louis, and Springfield. A cluster of lighter-orange counties in the 60-percent range appears in the northeast, with a few scattered lighter counties in the south-central and southeastern parts of the state.

NEW: Missouri voters have rejected Amendment 4, which Republicans had passed to make citizen-initiated constitutional amendments effectively impossible. It would have required initiatives to pass in every congressional district—not just statewide—giving the overwhelmingly red districts a veto

Kansas is the only red state where Democratic appointees are a majority on the state Supreme Court, and it will stay that way for years to come after voters rejected this GOP power grab in a landslide. Kansas voters have repeatedly rejected Republican attempts to ban abortion since the Dobbs ruling

New York Times election results graphic for Kansas's Amendment 1. Explanatory text notes the measure, introduced by Republicans frustrated by the appointed court's support of abortion rights, seeks to overhaul how Kansas Supreme Court justices are selected. If passed, the seven justices would no longer be appointed by the governor and would instead be elected to six-year terms. Latest results from 6:01 AM ET, with more than 95% of votes in, from AP. "No" is marked with a check as the winner, with 375,355 votes, or 61.3%. "Yes" has 236,800 votes, or 38.7%. Total reported: 612,155. Below, a county map of Kansas shades results from teal for Yes to orange for No, with the darkest shades indicating margins of 70% or more. Topeka and Wichita are labeled. The map is closely divided county by county, with teal and orange counties interspersed across the state; most shading on both sides is in the lighter, roughly 60-percent range. Teal predominates somewhat in the western half. The darkest orange counties, at 70% or more for No, cluster in the northeast around and east of Topeka. Sedgwick County, containing Wichita, is shaded orange.

NEW: Voters have rejected Republicans' scheme to unseat the Kansas Supreme Court's Dem-appointed majority and overturn abortion rights. Amendment 1 would have let the GOP replace the system of a nominating commission, gubernatorial appointment, and retention elections with direct partisan elections

WE REJECTED REPUBLICANS. MISSOURI REJECTED A REPUBLICAN GERRYMANDER OF OUR VOTE BECAUSE 68% OF US APPROVED THE ABORTION MEASURE. REPUBLICANS NO LONGER WANT VOTERS TO DECIDE. THEY SEEK MINORITY RULES. NOT #MajorityRules REJECT EVERY REPUBLICAN FOR AT LEAST 10 YEARS. #BlueDecade

Missouri voters reject ballot measure limiting their power to amend state constitution

Notably, the proposed amendment would not have affected constitutional amendments that the legislature put on the ballot. State lawmakers only wanted to make it harder to pass a voter-led measure, not...

Everyone’s expectations got skewed over the past week but Abdul El-Sayed getting $70 million spent against him in a state he lost a primary by like 20 points eight years ago and still winning last night is probably the most impressive electoral accomplishment of the decade.
