Missouri Voters' Power Blocked by Judge | St. Louis News
Description
A Missouri judge has blocked a voter-initiated amendment designed to make it harder for lawmakers to undo laws passed by voters, ruling it violates the state constitution by covering too many topics. The amendment, called Respect Missouri Voters, would have required an 80% supermajority in the legislature to even propose changes—and those changes would have needed voter approval again. Secretary of State Denny Hoskins initially halted the initiative on constitutional grounds, and the judge agreed, saying the proposal fundamentally altered power dynamics. Supporters are now appealing the decision, setting up a legal battle that could reshape how laws are made and changed in Missouri.
