On March 5, supporters of a Missouri referendum concerning U.S. House districts said data from the various county election offices shows they have enough valid signatures statewide and also in five of the eight U.S. House districts. They need enough valid signatures in any six U.S. House districts. See this story.
If the Secretary of State would acknowledge this data, then the old districts would be in effect in the 2026 election. However, he does not.
He shouldn’t. Some of those counties are run by fraud prone commie demon rats.
Duplicate and invalid signatures, naturally.
The counties have already checked for invalid signatures. That is what they have been working on for the last two months. As to duplicate signatures, that would only come into play if there are voters who are registered in two different counties.
According to your own source –
A spokesperson for Hoskins told Spectrum News the data is preliminary and still subject to review by the office, and that the report does “not reflect duplicate signatures or all possible invalid signatures. At this time, the Secretary of State is still in the process of quality control and review.”
In a social media post sharing this story Thursday night, Hoskins went further, saying his office’s review would not begin until after the deadline for local election officials to do theirs passes, meaning July 28.
I’m more inclined to believe the SOS office than the initiative proponents claims about preliminary data from counties. Let the process play out.
Missouri is one of the few states where I have not gone through this process in some capacity. Many states check at more than one level – county and state, or town and state in New England states.
It’s common for some offices and not others to look into whether some signers improperly signed more than once as well as numerous other technicalities.
This not infrequently reflects bias of the office for or against a particular measure. They scrutinize some petitions more than others due to bias. Not officially, of course, but I’ve seen it many times.
County officials who sympathize with a measure may not check rigorously. Some counties may not have the resources for a thorough check. Etc.
I don’t know the process in Missouri in particular, but this plays out in a lot of places and times in similar ways.
Relax and don’t worry, it’s going to be fine. The White Powder movement keeps getting bigger all the time. I’m dreaming of a White mirror, just like the ones that I once knew. And now with Trump in the White house, my dream is starting to come true!
I support Donald Trump because I’m snorting white powder and I’m snorting white powder because I support Trump!
Would you support Megan Kelly for President?
What about Tucker Carlson or Marjorie Trailer Trash?
