> Missouri voters rejected a measure that would have made it more difficult to pass constitutional amendments. In a separate Democratic primary rematch, U.S. Rep. Wesley Bell defeated former U.S. Rep. Cori Bush. Bell’s victory on Tuesday is likely to carry him toward reelection in November. The race is in St. Louis’ heavily Democratic 1st Congressional District.
