“The elimination of the state-run presidential primary is among several measures enacted by the Republican Legislature in 2022 to immediately strip Missourians of their primary election and intentionally disenfranchise voters.” Despite this attack on our right to vote, turnout exceeded turnout at Republican caucus events, and Democrats are using this election as an opportunity to start organizing early and move forward in 2024. generated grassroots enthusiasm across the state for the election cycle.
