KTTN: Cameron town hall to explain Missouri ballot initiative process

Cameron residents affiliated with Respect MO Voters will host a public town hall on Tuesday, Jan. 27, to explain how Missouri’s citizen ballot initiative system operates and to outline ways voters can respond to legislative efforts that critics say undermine that process.

Organizers contend that state lawmakers have repeatedly disregarded the will of voters in recent years by reversing election outcomes and adopting ballot language they describe as misleading. They point to the 2018 passage of Amendment 1, approved by majorities in Clinton County and Caldwell County, which enacted ethics and redistricting reforms. Lawmakers later altered those reforms by returning the issue to the ballot with language that courts determined was illegally deceptive.
