Congresswoman Cori Bush is likely heading back to Washington next year after winning the Democratic primary over state Rep. Steve Roberts on Tuesday.
I voted for Bernie.

Normally, the August elections in an even numbered year are mainly just focused on political candidates all trying to advance themselves on to the next level so that they can focus on the November ballots when the political parties go head to head for their desired elected office. That's why we call it the Missouri Primary Election.
Then the usual late summer municipal items get thrown in. The items that didn't make it onto the general Election ballot back in April.
This year, the State legislature has thrown in some Constitutional Amendments related to State Income Taxes, future Amendment Voting Policies, and such. It should be interesting to see how they fare.
The sad part is that the August vote is usually a low turnout, so a minority of voices will affect a larger group of Citizens.
