Missouri elections: with 56-57% of votes counted, KCUR has called Amendments 1 & 2 as passing, Amendments 4 & 5 as failing. This is good news. (I voted for Amendment 2, but with reservations. The rest are definitely good news.) Amendment 4 was an attempt to limit citizen initiative legislation (like recent citizen initiatives to legalize marijuana and protect reproductive choice). Amendment 5 was an attempt to eliminate state income tax, replacing it with sales taxes.
