Episode Details

Missouri voters face a pivotal choice: make it exponentially harder to amend the state constitution with a new proposal requiring supermajority support across all eight congressional districts. Backed by frustrated Republicans who say rural voices are drowned out by urban interests, the amendment seeks to curb citizen-driven changes like Medicaid expansion and marijuana legalization. But critics—including some Republicans—warn it’s an extreme, unfair power grab that undermines democracy, since legislative amendments still only need a simple majority. Meanwhile, a counterproposal aims to protect voter initiatives from legislative overrule, revealing a deeper battle over who controls Missouri’s future.
