Another statewide republican politician in Missouri, in a long line of examples, who continually trips on his own shoelaces.

Missouri Secretary of State
[October 24, 2026]

A theme throughout President Harry S Truman’s 1948 Whistle-stop campaign, Missouri’s favorite son emphasized that the power of the US government rests with the people.

The November 3 general election is just ten days away—make your voice heard!

[….]

On the importance of voting

When you vote, you are in control of your government.
– Harry S Truman –

Denny Hoskins

Some of the responses:

You keep his name out of your mouth.

There is considerable irony in Secretary of State Denny Hoskins invoking Harry Truman’s words: “When you vote, you are in control of your Government.”
Truman meant considerably more than simply encouraging people to show up on Election Day.
In those 1948 remarks, Truman said, “I trust the people, because when they know the facts, they do the right thing.” He said the American people themselves should decide what kind of government they wanted. Throughout that whistle-stop campaign, he repeatedly returned to the same principle: ordinary citizens exercise control over their government through the ballot box.
That fuller context matters.
Because when more than 300,000 petition signatures were submitted asking that Missouri voters be allowed to decide whether to accept the legislature’s mid-decade congressional redistricting, Hoskins attempted to keep that question from the ballot. The Missouri Supreme Court unanimously concluded that he was wrong.
The Court found the petition legal, sufficient and timely and pointed to the plain language of the Missouri Constitution, which reserves to the people the power to approve or reject “any act of the general assembly” through referendum, subject to specified exceptions. The Court ordered Hoskins to certify the petition and put the question before Missouri voters.
There is a similar contradiction with Amendment 6, which concerns protecting Missouri’s initiative and referendum powers and limiting the legislature’s ability to undo decisions voters make through those processes. Hoskins initially refused to certify that measure as well before ultimately certifying it pursuant to the Missouri Supreme Court’s decision.
So quoting Truman here deserves some scrutiny.
You cannot invoke an American icon’s words about citizens controlling their government while leaving out the principle underlying those words. Truman’s message was not that voters should have a voice only when government officials are comfortable with the question being decided. His repeated message was that political power ultimately belongs to the people and that voting is how they exercise it.
No one can know exactly what Harry Truman would say about a Missouri political controversy nearly 80 years later.
But we do know what Truman actually said.
“I trust the people.”
“When you vote, you are in control of your Government.”
Those principles are difficult to square with fighting to prevent Missouri citizens from voting on a referendum after they had satisfied the signature requirements, particularly when Missouri’s highest court ultimately ruled unanimously that the Constitution gave them precisely that right.
Harry Truman’s legacy belongs to history, not to any current officeholder. If you are going to borrow the credibility of his words, you should be prepared to live by the democratic principle behind them.
Otherwise, quoting Truman becomes less a tribute to his principles and more an exercise in political convenience.

Oh I will, bud. I sure will. You and your red blazer can bank on it!

So you’re yes on 6?

This is why I’m voting Yes on 6, because we are in charge of our government and the folks elected to represent us need to be reminded of that.

Except when Hoskins, Kehoe, or Hannaway disagree with how you vote… 😒

Please don’t invoke Truman. You, sir, are no Truman!

Unless you elect people who will not listen to the will of voters…Yes on 6!! Because actions have consequences

Glad you agree Denny. Yes On 6

Yes on 6! The rest are tricks!

This is rich coming from you. 🤡

Rich, coming from you!

Unless you live in Missouri. Missourians make their voices heard, place amendments. Then the legislature wants to tell us we don’t know what we want.
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

And then the Missouri GOP tries to interfere in your vote

Yes on 6 to maintain your power.

Yes on 6.

The irony of Republican Secretary of State Denny Hoskins posting this cannot be understated. Here’s a statement that Harry Truman delivered at one of those whistle stops so many years ago:
“When the Republican candidate inscribes the slogan ‘Down With Socialism’ on the banner of his ‘great crusade,’ that is really not what he means at all.”
“What he really means is ‘Down with Progress–down with Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal,’ and ‘down with Harry Truman’s fair Deal.’ That’s all he means.”
[….]

You were on my mind when I voted this morning 😊😊

President Truman would say Hoskins is a disgrace to his office and the great State of Missouri! I will VOTE YES on Amendment 6 and NO on Prop A, the gerrymandered voting map! Missouri’s right to petition has been part of our Constitution since 1908. The same Constitutional right Hoskins, Kehoe and Hanaway thought they could overrule and both Supreme Courts ruled against them. We won’t let any of them forget this!
[….]

So much irony with this one. Vote yes on 6.

Pahhlease!

Interesting that you didn’t feel this way about the new maps! Aye on 6!

We need to get rid of the corrupt party Hoskins belongs to, but they will find a way to cheat & rig this election (already starting in Alaska). We need to overwhelm this fascist gop regime, take control and insert sweeping reform to ensure such incredible corruption never takes place again. You’re part of the problem Denny Hoskins, you’re a fascist traitor who serves one man, not the people. History will not be kind to your ilk.
[….]

Wow, your hypocrisy is effing stunning.

Truman’s rolling over in his grave every time you say his name

Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskins, How dare you.

I will Vote NO on 3, 7, 8 and Prop A.

Then how come we have to keep voting down the abortion ban, over and over? You DO NOT allow Missouri citizens to control the government they fund.

Does MO still elect any non-slimeballs, or is it pretty much just guys like you?

I vote in every election because Missouri Republicans in 2026 are still making laws about womens’ bodies and cheating to silence our petitions, votes and voices.
[….]

We are voting Denny. And don’t worry we will be voting out your precious map

Get his name out of your mouth and off your meme.

You are a horrible slimey disgusting American traitor.

That’s rich coming for you.

Not in Missouri.

That explains why you try so hard to overturn our votes.

God you’re a hypocrite

Now that’s a ratio.

The thing is, he doesn’t care.

Denny Hoskins (r) [2022 file photo].

On social media, from the official Missouri Secretary of State social media page:

Missouri Secretary of State
[October 21, 2026]

With ELECTION DAY less than two weeks away, some words of wisdom President Lincoln delivered to Congress at the onset of the Civil War. His message underscored the importance of free and fair elections.
In that spirit, Secretary of State Denny Hoskins encourages all of those eligible to vote in the November 3 election, and reminds everyone that no-excuse absentee voting is underway.
#Vote
sos.mo.gov/elections

On the importance of voting

Ballots are the rightful and peaceful successors of bullets. – Abraham Linoln

Denny Hoskins, CPA

Uh, dog whistle anyone?

Some of the responses:

You are a f*ck, aren’t you.
Your post hints at veiled violence.

When can we expect to see daily updates to the website on early vote totals?

agree. Right now 46 states are providing some degree of early vote info. At minimum the number of Voters. Several states do provide data on registration status, gender, age and race or race or ethnicity. I don’t care that we don’t provide any of those but I want up to date daily totals posted publicly like the rest of the states do. I don’t trust our secretary of state any further then I could throw him and I’m a very old lady with a very small throw

Missourians, beware. This appears to be a calculated attempt at political provocation.
By invoking Lincoln’s comparison of ballots and bullets just days before an election, Secretary of State Denny Hoskins is using rhetoric that could bait an angry individual into making a threat, allowing him to recast himself as the victim of political intimidation.
This is not the first time his political rhetoric has raised such concerns.
Do not take the bait. Challenge his conduct, scrutinize his decisions, and hold him publicly accountable. But do not give him the threatening response that could be used to manufacture a narrative of political persecution.
Political accountability, not manufactured martyrdom.

he’s an idiot and tried to steal our right to vote on propositions!

Hoskin belongs in prison. No bullets necessary.

Well said. Mo Republicans want violence for a government take over. That is why they ignore our democracy and pose with guns in ads. It isn’t about 2a or they would advocate for small govwernment. It is also noted that DHS is now knocking on resident’s door in KC and STL to “catch voter fraud”. IF there is voter fraud in Missouri that is Hoskins fault. He is in charge of elections. So much for small government. The Mo Republicans are treading all over us, the State and US constitution. This is why we vote in every election up and down the entire ballot. This is why we show up loudly non-violently to speak up again and again at city, county, and State meetings and local community gatherings.
[….]

Yeah when they are respected and not in gerrymandered districts

Practice what you preach buddy. You tried to take our right to vote on a proposition because “YOU” didn’t like it. It is our privilege to vote on them ALL.

“Fair elections” is respecting the voters, which you have not and we are forced to vote AGAIN because you didn’t like the outcome. What happens when you don’t like the outcome AGAIN???? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Where does cheating and ignoring the will/vote of the people fall, Denny?

Says the man who got punished by SCOTUS and MO courts for screwing over voters. Oh, the Republicans left the principals of Missouri President General Grant and Illinois President Lincoln a long time ago.
[….]

This has gone beyond being a sore loser. This is volatile behavior.

Says the dude who tried to subvert that process, illegally, until the courts held him accountable.

Hoskins, please just quit.
The people of Missouri, the MO and US Supreme courts are done with your games.

Are you threatening violence? It sure seems so.

This feels like when someone incessantly posts bible verses/passages but actively supports the indisputably most corrupt and closest living person to the actual devil himself. *cough* Ann Wagner *cough*

Denny you have proven repeatedly that you do not care about voter, their privacy, will, or integrity. Get off your soap box before you fall off.

Denny, what have I told you about invoking civil war dialogue into electoral politics.
Shame on you.
Missouri had a specific place/position in the civil war that should NOT be ignored, nor should it be invoked during voting.
My Great,great grandfather was the last surviving member of Union veterans in Missouri.
He immigrated here at 15, lied about his age, and fought the white enslaving plantation owners with his life, and WE WON.
I AM PROUD OF HIM LYING AND FIGHTING for the Union.
You are treading on sacred space and invoking violence where none should be present.
Not to mention, you’re a common schoolyard bully who targets transgender children and queer families out of public spaces.
You are ANTI-democracy and ANTI-American.
Shame on you, Denny.
Shame on you.
[….]

Mr. Zero Credibility chimes in with a Lincoln quote. Ha.

A disgrace to the office, resign loser

You are an embarrassment

From the guy who walks around with a bat? Can you not?

Then maybe you should respect our votes.

Thank you to the @BurgChamberMO for the opportunity to give an update at the annual Legislative Luncheon! I enjoyed visiting with folks about election integrity and the great things my Securities Division is doing to combat investment fraud. Scammers are using AI to prey on innocent investors. Case in point, I used AI to “update” 😉 the signs and photos of my personal protestors/fan club outside of the Chamber luncheon yesterday.

Go figure.

Do your job.

Denny Hoskins (r) was at a luncheon.

There was a demonstration outside the Chamber of Commerce luncheon in Warrensburg on Friday against Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskin’s (r) refusal to certify, in a fair, timely manner, the initiative referendum which would allow Missouri voters to weigh in on the right wingnut Missouri General Assembly’s mid-term gerrymander of congressional districts. Over 300,000 voters signed the petition.

“Help Wanted: Nonpartisan Public Servants
For all the people of Missouri”

“Denny,
You work for all Missourians
We pay you to do your job!
Certify the signatures”

Apparently the subject of the referendum certification wasn’t mentioned at the luncheon. The reminders where outside the venue. Go figure.

BREAKING: Missouri Supreme Court Issues Ruling in Fair Map Case as Secretary of State’s Own Data Shows Referendum Is Sufficient
Press Release / May 12, 2026
Today, People Not Politicians Missouri called on the Secretary of State to immediately declare the HB1 referendum sufficient, after the Secretary’s own data showed the referendum has easily surpassed the required threshold statewide and in the necessary congressional districts.

If the Secretary continues to delay certification while moving forward with implementation of HB1, he will be proceeding under a map that will be shown to have been legally suspended as of December 9, 2025. Because a sufficient referendum means HB1 was never in effect, any attempt to treat the HB1 maps as operative would silence the voices of more than 300,000 Missourians and risk conducting an illegal election.

“The Secretary of State’s own data confirms what more than 305,000 Missourians already made clear: this referendum is sufficient, and the people have a right to vote,” said Richard von Glahn, Executive Director of People Not Politicians Missouri. “Today’s ruling from the Supreme Court confirms this fact. A sufficient petition suspends the law the day it is turned in. Unnecessary delays by politicians do not change this fact. If he continues to delay then he is moving forward under a map that has been suspended by the people.”

Officials have suggested the review process could continue until July, despite the Secretary of State’s own data showing the referendum met the required thresholds as of March 23. The threshold has been met even without counting a single of the approximately 100,000 signatures arbitrarily dismissed by Secretary Hoskins and subject to ongoing litigation. People Not Politicians Missouri said that delay only adds to the tactics of obstruction politicians have used all along to silence the voice of the people.

The referendum effort, backed by more than 305,000 Missourians, continues moving toward final certification and placement on the November ballot.

December 9, 2025 to June 7, 2026 (so far). Do the math.

“….Case in point, I used AI to “update” 😉 the signs and photos of my personal protestors/fan club outside of the Chamber luncheon yesterday….”

Someone never got out of junior high school.

“…I’m so confused…. if our elections have not been free and fair, how did you get elected??…”

I was honored to stand alongside Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskins today as he pushed back against the unlawful actions of woke Boone County Clerk Brianna Lennon.
The law is not optional. The Missouri First map is the law of the land, and it must be upheld, not ignored for political agendas.
I will never back down in the fight for election integrity, fair elections, and protecting the voice of Missouri voters. As long as I have the privilege to serve the people of Missouri, I will continue fighting to ensure our laws are enforced and our elections remain secure.
[….]

There is much hilarity in the responses:

that’s not what the Supreme Court said on it’s Tuesday ruling. [….]
“Because the secretary’s certification process under chapter 116 is ongoing and has not been finally determined, it is impossible to say as of this opinion whether the December 9 referendum petition filing was ‘legal, sufficient, and timely’ and, therefore, whether HB 1 went into effect on December 11 or whether HB 1 was referred to the people as of December 9 and can only go into effect when approved by a majority of the votes cast thereon.”

hoskins is derelict in doing his duty. The Supreme Court said he must verify the signatures on the petition. In the election, the map to be used must be the current one NOT the one legislators recently drew up. Hoskins is holding the petition hostage.

Lmao.

Shame on you. Shame on Hoskins.

Dude, wha’ u talkin’ ’bout here? Your cronies overturned the will of the people for women to have access to total health care. Certify the signatures and wake up.

Proud Conservative here. This isnt about the Map! Its about the People’s Referendum which Hoskins wont certify. The Secretary of State needs to do his job and make a decision on the validity of signatures. Stop Playing Political Games!

The referendum signatures are in his building. Under the Missouri Constitution, a referendum filing suspends enforcement of a new enactment until a statewide vote. In its decision, the Missouri Supreme Court ruled that the suspension does not occur until the signatures are verified as valid in an official action by Hoskins.
If he does find the petitions have enough signatures, enforcement of the bill revising the maps would be suspended retroactively to the day the signatures were delivered. He has until Aug 4 to make a decision on the referendum. He’s Stonewalling the process.

the counties have verified over 100% of the required numbers. They hit that mark quite some time back. The SoS even has the numbers on their web site that clearly show the signature count was reached.
Hoskins should be personally financially liable for what this is going to cost taxpayers.

So you’re condoning cheating and dismissal of the people you actually are supposed to work for. Maybe stifle yourself! Brianna Lennon is epic at her job.

Pretty sure the opinion acknowledged that it is impossible to tell which map is in effect. Nice try though.

You want to protect the voice of Missouri voters “woke up Hoskins and tell him to count the signatures

He needs to do his job.

Then certify the referendum, simple. He needs to do HIS job.

Honor the will of the people

how many votes did you miss today?

After each census, cheaters!

Certify the signatures.

Anytime someone uses the word “woke,” I know not to take them seriously.

Straight from the mouth of ‘Never back down but never show up to vote Rick’

Jesus is Woke

Is there any context to this story? Oh and I can check Rick Brattin off my list…

Apparently you are only listening to the voices of SOME Missouri voters. What about the voices of the Missouri voters who signed AGAINST this?

But the map has a political agenda. WTF? Let the voters of the state decide.

Have Hoskins certify the referendum signatures (or reject them — after which he’ll lose in court). This is all the GOP’s making.

Why don’t you ask your buddy Denny to do his job and certify the referendum petition? Or does that part of the law not matter? 🤡

I’m so confused…. if our elections have not been free and fair, how did you get elected??

There is no honor in what you are doing

Protecting what voice?? We don’t have one anymore. We didn’t get to vote on the map. It was forced on us. And things we do vote on, you ignore! So again I ask, what voice????

How many votes did you miss while doing this?

Dishonorable

If you were really interested in protecting the voice of MIssouri voters, you would be pushing Hoskins to certify the signatures. Missouri voters did not vote for the redistricting. This is the chance to actually hear whether voters want the new district and if the MIssouri legislature was wrong to redistrict. And what about the paid sick leave and Reproductive Rights Amendment that Missouri voters already passed and you were a major actor in overturning those items?? Is that what protecting the voice of MIssouri voters is all about???????????????? Your statements are laughable in the face of reality.

Honored? You two are disgraceful to Missouri and most of Missourians see your underhanded manipulation to strip us of our LEGAL rights.
I would freely choose to stand beside Brianna Lennon because she is woke and not corrupt.
Look up the meaning of woke and read the definition of the term. Any day I will choose to be Woke!!!

Screw you.

Then certify the signatures and put it to a vote of the people – but you won’t because you don’t really care what the people want – only what your orders are from the 🍊🎪🤡 dumpf!!!

The first map is NOT the law of the land. The MO Supreme Court did not say that. You and your corrupt cohorts are delaying the certification to cause chaos in the August primaries. Following your POS cult leader, there is no low too low. Blue wave coming!

Aren’t you the one that they keep showing your empty desk when voting occurs. Not sure why your post are showing up on my Facebook, but you are one of the worst in office in Missouri, along with Hoskins and Kehoe. Tell Hoskins to do his job, since you can’t do anything else

“Woke Boone County Clerk”? You are asking people to put you into a position to be a leader — and you act like a third grade bully on the playground? Go away. Missouri doesn’t need or want you. And try to grow up at the same time.

How are you “protecting the voice of Missouri voters” if you don’t allow the Missouri voters an opportunity to vote on your proposed gerrymandered map? You’re making as much sense as Dementia Donald.

Hoskins needs to do his JOB. He had more than enough time to certify the referendum results. Republican refusing to do his job for political purposes. Trump and the MAGA are liars and cheats. Corrupting the entire country with their actions and failures.

Is there not a single politician left that speaks professionally? I’m so tired of seeing “woke” “radical” and “lefties” in nearly every post. The dumbing down of our leadership is real.

Why don’t you ask that dipshit in the red jacket why he hasn’t certified the petition to let the people actually vote on these stupid maps? What are you afraid of?

Now you are even lying about the court’s decision, while standing with the guy refusing to do his job and certify the referendum signed by over 300,000 Missourians.

Love her, but I thoroughly hate your guts and Hoskins as well

So you never read the actual court order then. Another reason you will be replaced next election. You making this way to easy for your competition. You do nothing but champion the silencing the voters of kc by dividing them up after they supported you during your broadcasting career only.to have you turn your back on them in favor of simping for your party.

Gerrymander this, Denny

Missouri SOS Reports Referendum on HB1 Has Enough Signatures to Qualify for Ballot
Press Release / March 23, 2026

Politicians cannot implement gerrymandered map without voter approval

The Missouri Secretary of State’s Office signature verification report today confirms that a sufficient number of signatures were collected, in every required congressional district, to put a referendum on the November ballot giving Missouri voters the final say in the state legislature’s illegally gerrymandered congressional district map.

In a petition drive spearheaded by People Not Politicians Missouri, more than 300,000 signatures were collected statewide to give voters their right to challenge the unprecedented, unconstitutional mid-census redistricting.

Richard von Glahn of People Not Politicians Missouri issued the following statement in response to the SOS report:

“Today’s confirmation is a decisive victory for democracy and for the people of Missouri. Volunteers across the state didn’t just meet the bar, they shattered it, sending a clear message that voters will not stand for politicians rigging the rules mid-game. HB1 must be stopped in its tracks. And in November, Missourians will make the final call. This is what democracy looks like: people, not politicians, deciding who represents them.”

On Tuesday:

Denny Hoskins
January 27 at 10:18 PM

Thank you to some of my supporters for sharing this meme with me! 😂

I locked a cemetery gate and the Democrats accused me of election interference
[….]

Some of the responses:

Wow. Mocking people you are supposed to represent. That is the GOP way I suppose.
It is all too apparent how Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskins feels about his constituents. Do you serve the only the people who voted for you, or all Missourians Denny Hoskins?

Oof. Serving the people of Missouri with integrity? Swing and a miss.
[….]

When you can’t win in the marketplace of ideas, make stuff up and lie like a bitch.

Boy maga seems to be flailing out lately….lol

Snarky little toad

Laughing at you, not with you, btw.

You are a meme

Why would you lock a cemetery gate?

What a weird joke. Like, who locks a cemetery gate. Is he locking in living people visiting the graves of loved ones? Is that the joke?

You know sir, if there are issues with elections in Missouri, it might be the Republicans fault. They’ve held majorities and super majorities for years. Now go count the signatures sir.

I locked the cemetery gate and suddenly nobody had access to Denny Hoskins’ career.

You got middle school kids doing your social media now?

Apparently.

There’s still time to delete this

Too late.

You once flushed the toilet and were accused of giving yourself a lobotomy.

Well, that was rude.

What a Dufus.

So you are saying the GOP does a crappy job running the state and our elections?

You need a better writer

A little concerned that the Secretary of State, the one in charge of elections, would post this. Are you suggesting that out elections are not secure? An insult to the hard working election judges who volunteer their time and effort to make sure our elections are safe and secure.

Your ignorance of how elections actually work is staggering, Denny…

That’s a pretty stupid thing think much less say. How about growing up some?

Does spouting a stupid meme make you feel superior in some way, because it sure destroys your dignity.

You are unfit for your position. You are a scummy liar! What a despicable asshole!

Are you attempting to be an idiot?
Or does it just come naturally?

What a douchebag

You’re an idiot. 🙄

Hoskins, if you’re trying to be clever you failed. Failing is nothing new for you.

You are a PUBLIC SERVANT once you take office. Why insult half your constituents, degrade yourself and your office by this embarrassing partisanship?

Wow! The lack of respect you have for MO voters and actual election integrity is not shocking but disappointing.

You know you are a failure when all you do is point fingers and make fun of others to distract from your inablilty to do anything.

“I locked the cemetery gate and Democrats were mad they couldn’t mourn all the American citizens the Trump administration has murdered in the streets.” Denny Hoskins

Making your whole identity be about making people you disagree with angry is another choice you’re making.
Go make your identity about being a husband or a dad or, if those things don’t bring you joy, make your identity kindness. Surely kindness is a good identity.

This is gross and immature.

Grow up.

Yawns ensue.

Mike Parson (r) [2022 file photo}.

Governor Parson Formally Rebukes Secretary of State’s Inaction and Refusal to Protect Missouri Children
AUGUST 22, 2024

Jefferson City — Yesterday, Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft refused to sign off on the emergency rulemaking process associated with Governor Mike Parson’s Executive Order 24-10, prohibiting the sale of unregulated psychoactive cannabis products. After Secretary Ashcroft chose to sit idly by and not protect Missouri children from harmful cannabis infused products, Governor Parson penned a letter [….] to express his deep dissatisfaction and provide a formal rebuke.

“Without question, our office and hundreds of thousands of parents and grandparents across the state view the matter of protecting Missouri children as an emergency in need of immediate action,” Governor Parson said. “By refusing to grant emergency rules to ban the sale of unregulated psychoactive cannabis products, especially to children, Secretary Ashcroft is choosing personal vendetta and unregulated, dangerous products over the health and safety of Missouri kids.”

[….]

A letter, harshly worded. Why are we not surprised?
