Yesterday at the Missouri Ethics Commission:

C222341 05/26/2023 Missouri Agrees Show Me Integrity 7037 Amherst University City MO 63132 5/25/2023 $332,000.00

[emphasis added]

Wait, what? Where did all that money come from?

…We’re actively exploring campaigns across the state to pass campaign finance reform, first at the local level and then statewide, to ensure that the people of Missouri can hold our elected officials accountable for their actions and inactions…

Uh…

And?:

…Current voting laws, which restrict voters to choosing only one candidate per office, incentivize division over problem-solving. The good news? Pick-one voting is not a feature of our elections. It’s time to replace this outdated voting system with a one that actually rewards accountability, protects the will of the people, and encourages effective government. Freedom Voting can achieve this by giving voters the freedom to choose all the candidates they like per office, and not limit their choices to one…

Uh…
