Missouri’s New Constitution Hurdle | Roanoke News

Published 1 week, 4 days ago
Description

Missouri’s poised to dramatically tighten the grip on constitutional change, with a new proposal requiring citizen initiatives to win approval in all eight congressional districts — a first in U.S. history. Critics warn it could silence grassroots voices, while supporters argue it ensures broader regional consensus. Recent voter wins on abortion, marijuana, and Medicaid — often with less than 53% statewide support — fuel the debate. Meanwhile, a counter-movement is already gathering steam, aiming to protect the initiative process and block any future legislative rollbacks. The battle over who shapes Missouri’s future — voters or lawmakers — is just heating up.
