…sadly, this is nothing new in my state, but it should be called to attention none the less.
According to AtlasShrugs, 15 Missouri counties have more registered voters than residents over the age of 18. Sooooo, either dead people are voting, or babies are voting. Either way, it can’t be good for the integrity of the election…
Counties highlighted in red are the ones in question…

I love being a Missourian tonight!
Perhaps this begins to make up for electing a dead man to the Senate…
What am I rambling on about? In Missouri tonight the people have spoken. Telling Obama and the rest of the power-hungry Liberals in D.C. exactly where they can shove their Obamacare…
We in Missouri passed Proposition C in a landslide… Yes 71.1% /No 28.9% (Thanks to Missouri Election Night Reporting)
Prop. C read in part:
“1. No law or rule shall compel, directly or indirectly, any person, employer, or health care provider to participate in any health care system.
2. A person or employer may pay directly for lawful health care services and shall not be required by law or rule to pay penalties or fines for paying directly for lawful health care services. A health care provider may accept direct payment for lawful health care services and shall not be required by law or rule to pay penalties or fines for accepting direct payment from a person or employer for lawful health care services.
3. Subject to reasonable and necessary rules that do not substantially limit a person’s options, the purchase or sale of health insurance in private health care systems shall not be prohibited by law or rule.”
This is just the first wave of rebuke directed at Obama and his cronies by the American people. Several similar initiatives will be on state ballots come November…

This is pretty straight forward...
Following is the text of an email I received today concerning Proposition C which will appear on the ballot in Missouri on August 3, this Proposition is intended to Make Missourians exempt from the dreaded "Obamacare"... Missouri is leading the charge in this area and it is my hope that more states will follow suit..
Please spread the word about the bill that is coming up for a vote in Missouri on Aug 3 regarding our healthcare (Obamacare). Missouri is the first state to get it on a ballot for the Aug 3rd election. It is the Healthcare Freedom Amendment and if we can get this passed Missouri citizens will be exempt from having to purchase the National Health Insurance and it would make it illegal for them to fine us if we don't buy the health insurance. It is proposition C on the ballot. We have less than 30 days to get the word out. The Missouri Health Care Freedom Amendment, Proposition C will appear on the <http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/Missouri_2010_ballot_measures> August 3, 2010 statewide ballot in <http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/Missouri> Missouri as an <http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/Legislatively-referred_constitutio nal_amendment> legislatively-referred constitutional amendment. The proposed measure aims to block the federal government from requiring people to buy health insurance and bans punishment for those without health insurance. <http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/Missouri_Health_Care_Freedom_Amend ment,_Proposition_C_(2010)#cite_note-0> [1] <http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/Missouri_Health_Care_Freedom_Amend ment,_Proposition_C_(2010)#cite_note-1> [2] <http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/Missouri_Health_Care_Freedom_Amend ment,_Proposition_C_(2010)#cite_note-2> [3] Backers of such amendments are opposed to President <http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/Barack_Obama> Barack Obama’s new health care plans. The measure does not advocate a particular plan but measure advocates say the measure will "protect the individual’s right to make health care decisions." Opponents of the measures and some constitutional scholars say the proposals are mostly symbolic, intended to send a message of political protest, and have little chance of succeeding in court over the long run. <http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/Missouri_Health_Care_Freedom_Amend ment,_Proposition_C_(2010)#cite_note-3> [4] On <http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/BC2010#May> May 4, 2010 the <http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/Missouri_Senate> Missouri Senate voted 26-8 in favor of referring the proposed measure to the ballot. <http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/Missouri_Health_Care_Freedom_Amend ment,_Proposition_C_(2010)#cite_note-4> [5] On <http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/BC2010#May> May 11 the <http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/Missouri_House_of_Representatives> House gave final approval to refer the measure to the ballot following a 108-47 vote. <http://ballotpedia.org/wiki/index.php/Missouri_Health_Care_Freedom_Amend ment,_Proposition_C_(2010)#cite_note-APMay11-5> [
