This is the third time in a row that the communists/socialists have used a low-turnout election to pass an amendment to the Missouri constitution. The state should have require the same margin to pass a constitutional amendment as the federal government but, no, they let the leftists pass this crap with a simple majority which is easy when Soros and his ilk drop 20 - 30 million to buy votes.
Some of the blame can be placed on the Sec State who lets these ballot issues be put on secondary elections when turnout is low. This is an unfunded mandate that will curtail a lot of important programs.

You are so right. This should have been on the November 3rd ballot when the president is winning Missouri by 20 points.

I don’t know if the state Sec. of State has discretion in the matter. Now, as to why a state constitutional amendment should require only a simple majority instead of a super majority, that must be in the Constitution itself—probably placed there by an initiative/referendum. As it is the 673,000 yes votes have committed a state with a population of over 6,000,000 to an expensive (in my opinion) boondoggle.

Low turnout elections are the key to mischief. You nailed it.

Florida went to 60% because too much stuff was being pushed through.
