Joining them on the ballot are Libertarian candidate Rik Combs and the Green Party’s Jerome Bauer.

A majority of Missouri voters, however, approved the measure, with counties with larger communities supporting the measure. It passed in Boone County, Green County, which is home to Springfield, and the counties of the St. Louis and Kansas City metropolitan areas.
