Time for the standard AG overreach and have him just take the measure off the ballot again.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
Anti-abortion groups had tried to block the measure by arguing that proponents of the ballot measure had failed to meet constitutional requirements that the people who sign ballot-measure petitions be fully informed of the proposal’s legal ramifications.
I expect their argument would be that people can never be "fully" "informed" unless they decide abortion should be banned. What twatffles.
I feel bad for the people who signed the petition but didn't get informed that abortion might get unbanned! So underhanded! /s
No paywall
It was already a gift link…
Really? I got a paywall when I opened it.
This is what I get. Should be able to dismiss the popover by clicking on the little down arrow. If you’re seeing something else, I’m not really sure what the cause might be.
This is super weird, but I've also been having a couple of other bizarre issues today (different device), so I'm going to assume it's something on my end. Thank you for sharing, and for checking! ☺️
Shoulda been. Trying to make a conscious effort to use up my gift link monthly limit…
Double checking now…
Hell yeah. A high profile issue to drive liberal turnout.
The first thing I did after posting this was to see if MO was anywhere near being in play for POTUS.
This’ll help but I’m guessing not enough to flip the state. Still should help down ballot elections.
Missouri is more purple than people realize. They often vote against their own interests nationally, but locally they vote relatively progressive
A PVI of R+10 is not “more purple than people realize.” That’s as red as NY is blue.
Polls don't matter in this instance. Look at the state record, which shows a modest progressive lean on statewide and municipal politics and a moderate conservative lean on federal politics.
PVI is historical voting record. Holy shit my man, at the bare minimum understand a conversation before dumping your ignorant thoughts into it.
The index looks at how every congressional district voted in the past two presidential elections combined and compares it to the national average.
Sounds like a poll to me. If you actually look at how the politics play out at the state level, it tells a different story.
Exactly half of our last 12 governors were democrats, but the guy you're responding to is either a troll or an idiot. Probably a bit of both.
I definitely don't expect the Bible thumping deep south to flip, hell im not even sure i expect this ballot measure to pass. but the down ballot races will definitely be where it helps
Deep south.....Do you know where missouri is?
I do, and while it's not as deep as some I still consider it to caucus with a lot of the red hell holes on average based on its legislature and voting history.
First, missouri is very clearly and well known as "midwest".
Second, it leans republican, but it's fairly purple. Dem presidential nominee pretty much always gets at least 40% of the vote, and over the past 50 years it's 6 and 6 on dem vs republican governors.
Losing by 20 points isn’t close, at all.
I said "at least", Nimrod. They have voted a win for democrats before, and a few elections back the republican only won by 0.1%.
Overturning the decision by Clay County Judge Chris Limbaugh (yeah, a cousin of that other Limbaugh).
Appointed by the right wing governor of course.
Yeah, there's a whole enclave of them down there in Pleasant Hill.
We don't go to Pleasant Hill anymore.
Wow. Never expect any kind of positive news from Missouri anymore.
It's why we must always fight these battles rather than just giving in to doom. Battles that seem hopeless can sometimes surprise you
