Amendment 4 and 5 Backers Face Missouri Voters Reckoning This November

Amendment 4 and 5 died by landslide margins in Missouri's August primary. Here is who in the legislature backed them, and who still faces voters this November.

Amendments 4 & 5 in Missouri didn't just go down, they went down in FLAMES.🔥🔥🔥🔥 "NO" won in *every county* The *closest* margin of victory was (only) 59% NO for Amendment 4 in Shelby County. Voters are getting tired of legislators' games. And data centers. But also the games.

Hooray! Congrats to all the organizations and volunteers and neighbors who worked so hard to dispell the false advertising backed by dark money that was poured into the "yes" campaigns for amendments 4 and 5. Now on to defeat Amendment 3 in the November elections! #StopTheBan

"I'm gonna go back to Alabama and hey, we might build a 30-foot wall around our state." I'm OK with this, actually.

Marijuana is not the boogeyman it’s made out to be. Legalize it, regulate it (just like liquor) and move on. Focus on the real drug issues out there like opioid addictions.

Talarico’s argument is simple: Stop treating marijuana like a crime. Legalize it. Regulate it. Tax it. Stop wasting police resources on low-level marijuana offenses. Clear the records of people whose lives have been derailed by nonviolent marijuana convictions.

Amendment 4. Amendment 5. Going down in flames. This is a TOTAL repudiation by Missouri voters of a core agenda of state GOP leadership.

Missouri voters trounce Kehoe’s Amendments 4 and 5

Missouri voters handed Gov. Mike Kehoe and Republican legislators a pair of resounding defeats on Tuesday with ramifications almost certain to be felt in November. Amendment 4, a key bill passed by the super-majority Republican legislature that would have dramatically changed Missouri’s petition initiative process, was throttled by voters by an overwhelming majority. The amendment […]

Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All. Michigan... We won. I am so proud to be your Democratic nominee for US Senate. Let's win in November.

Missouri trouncing two awful Constitutional amendments by a 4 to 1 margin that Republican legislative leaders tried to shove down our throats with a well-financed campaign of lies is a rare hopeful sign in this neck of the woods.

Wow, Missouri defeated the "constitutional amendments have to pass in each congressional district" amendment AND the "no income tax amendment" with 80% of the vote on each going to "no." Those were pushed hard by the GOP.

Among many races across the state of Missouri in Tuesday's primary, the highly contested Amendment 4 and Amendment 5 were soundly defeated. https://www.heartlandnewsfeed.com/2026/08/05/missouri-soundly-defeats-amendments-4-and-5/

Missouri soundly defeats Amendments 4 and 5

Missouri voters delivered clear results in Tuesday’s primary election, rejecting two closely watched constitutional amendments while approving measures tied to parks funding and county government operations. Voters turned down Amendment 5, a proposal that would have begun phasing out Missouri’s individual income tax as state revenues grew and allowed lawmakers to expand sales taxes to replace the lost revenue. The measure was one of the most heavily debated questions on the ballot and marked a rare attempt by a state legislature to seek voter approval for eliminating the income tax.

Happy Birthday President Obama! Thank you for inspiring us to be the change we seek.

Missouri is mad about some amendments they hated that got approved anyway, so now they're trying to make it a lot harder for citizens to vote for change. Because when the GOP can't win, they cheat, and they feel fully entitled to do so.

I voted against Missouri Amendment 4 today as it'd virtually strip away citizen power to amend MO constitution. It's power grab effort by GOP lawmakers.
