Does it really matter when there is already a 'fix' in place with voting tabulation machines running dominion software?

Eric Smith

No need for computers or software, America has honest elections. Just as long as the ballots are handled in the manner of Carrie White's prom.

Max

Your comment holds truth in blue states, but not here in Missouri. But, thank you for your input.

Fred

Oh, please ... do you recall Fox News having to pay Dominion $787.5 million for spreading this nonsense?

We voted them into office, they work for us.

Vanessa Vaughan

Why have elections if our illustrious lawmakers take it upon them selves to blantly ignore their constituents? Next measure for a proposed amendment to the Missouri constitution is for the voters to vote in a law that lawmakers cannot change or do away what voters voted on.

Wes Zongker

Lawmakers seem to listen to big donors more than constituents. Voter approved laws are a recourse when lawmakers refuse to listen to constituents which should not be easily undone!

William Stewart

Legislature should represent the people, they are not dictators/nobles or something. If the people vote for something then it should hold more power honestly then anything they do.

This does not need to be explained.

I am a life long black Columbian who has seen the good and also the ugly about Columbia over the years. Decent people no matter the color of your skin are afraid to go downtown or the business loop because of crime,aggressive vagrants and dope addicts. Mr Choi at least seems to care.

Denzel McVeigh

Speak for yourself, as a dark brown skin man I have no problem walking around Columbia Missouri whether it's daylight or night time. I mind my own business and I never ever see any trouble except pigs AKA cops trying to find trouble. If I do see trouble it's usually these drunk college kids downtown

Steve Baumann

Liberalism in action.

Kathleen Swingle

Because its out of control downtown.

Harry D

So called city leaders can pretend there is no problem but the facts speak for themselves. There is a public safety issue downtown and it is being caused by a very small segment of the population who the liberal leaders like to pander to.

Richard Mendenhall

I think city leaders are trying but not hard enough. I think that % of crime may be going down. But regardless crime is unacceptable in is present state. Our city now has the money to do something serious to stop crime. But it cannot be same old same old and it must include the court system.

Max

Mr. Choi has greater skills than Columbia's government when it comes to solving problems.

He doesn't do nuisance. Just blusters half truths and demands. His fiefdom isn't a democracy, and he doesn't care about our local democratic system or seem to acknowledge that it is a slower process than we would all like. Democracy is for long term stability. Dictatorships are quick but ugly.

Ronald Brown

Because people in those positions that are not from the same environments and who don't personally interact to learn to understand the deep rooted trauma and dysfunction, that comes with an oppressed race, has no room in my opinion to judge those he's not willing to personally help with personal inv

Robert Rasmussen

I don't know what Choi's angle is, but he should focus on running the UM system into the ground.

Denzel McVeigh

Because a lot of the people that are complaining about the crime downtown are only watching what the media is putting out there. They're not actually going downtown walking around downtown seeing there's little to no crime. It's all projection. And when there is trouble it's usually the college kids

We have the best democracy money can buy. Millions from the special interests and unions buys a lot of votes.

Will Mason

The vote went exactly as I thought it would. . People voted exactly how their TVs told them to. Money backed opinions won.

Fried Circuit

Keep Missouri the same again! If it isn't broke, don't fix it.

Fred

The vast majority of people voted for their own self interest .... as it should be!

Max

Conservatives voted in favor of our country, not their self interests
