A pending lawsuit against sports betting initiative is complicating matters for the state s upcoming November general election.
According to JoDonn Chaney, director of communications for the Missouri Secretary of State s Office, the state cannot modify its general election ballot after Tuesday, Sept. 10, as required by Missouri statute. The state certified its primary election results and its final ballot form earlier this week.
The question will appear on all official Missouri general election ballots if the lawsuit is not resolved prior to Sept. 10. However, the initiative s election results may be moot depending on the court s ruling in the case.
