Today at the Missouri Ethics Commission from a pop-up committee supporting the right wingnut Amendment 7 on the November ballot:
C243158 10/29/2024 Americans for Citizen Voting Safe Streets Safe Communities PO Box 75650 Washington DC 20013 10/21/2024 $300,000.00
[emphasis added]
The pop-up committee – eleven days ago:
Supported/Opposed Ballot Measure
Measure Election Date Subject Political Subdivision Support/Oppose
Amendment 7 11/5/2024 Shall the Missouri Constitution be amended to: Make the Constitution consistent with state law by only allowing citizens of the United States to vote; Prohibit the ranking of candidates by limiting voters to a single vote per candidate or issue; and Require the plurality winner of a political party primary to be the single candidate at a general election? Statewide Support
Uh, the current law in Missouri:
RSMo § 115.133. Qualifications of voters. — 1. Except as provided in subsection 2 of this section, any citizen of the United States who is a resident of the state of Missouri and seventeen years and six months of age or older shall be entitled to register and to vote in any election which is held on or after his eighteenth birthday.
2. No person who is adjudged incapacitated shall be entitled to register or vote. No person shall be entitled to vote:
(1) While confined under a sentence of imprisonment;
(2) While on probation or parole after conviction of a felony, until finally discharged from such probation or parole; or
(3) After conviction of a felony or misdemeanor connected with the right of suffrage.
3. Except as provided in federal law or federal elections and in section 115.277, no person shall be entitled to vote if the person has not registered to vote in the jurisdiction of his or her residence prior to the deadline to register to vote.
Under current law only individuals who are U.S. Citizens can legally vote in Missouri.
What they really want to do is ban ranked choice voting in Missouri.
