> Missouri voters rejected a proposal that would have made constitutional amendments more difficult to pass. In a separate Democratic primary rematch, U.S. Rep. Wesley Bell defeated former U.S. Rep. Cori Bush. Bell’s victory on Tuesday is expected to position him well for reelection in November. He represents the heavily Democratic 1st Congressional District in St. Louis.
