After months of campaigning and anticipation, Election Day 2024 has finally arrived, bringing significant races and amendments to Missouri and Kansas. In Missouri, voters had the opportunity to decide on key issues such as establishing reproductive care rights and legalizing sports wagering. Additionally, the state saw elections for governor, U.S. Senate, and all U.S. House seats. In Kansas, important races included a new sheriff in Johnson County and efforts by the Democratic Party to reduce the Republican supermajority in the state legislature. Notable results included U.S. Senator Josh Hawley winning a second term and the approval of Amendment 3, ensuring the right to abortion in Missouri. The night also saw former President Trump projected to win Kansas and a mix of victories and concessions from various candidates. While turnout was steady and no significant security issues were reported, the elections showed shifts in voting patterns, with an increase in in-person voting in both states compared to previous years. Overall, the elections brought a mix of triumphs and disappointments for candidates, with important decisions made by voters on various ballot measures and races.
