In-Person Absentee Voting For Missouri’s Primary Election Is Underway (Listen)
Missouri’s August 2 primary election is right around the corner and in-person absentee voting has begun. You can vote absentee at your local election authority until 5 p.m. on August 1. To vote absentee, you must be absent from your election authority jurisdiction on Election Day; confined due to illness or physical disability; taking care of someone who is confined due to illness or physical disability; have religious reasons; an election worker or in jail, or be a domestic violence victim participating in Missouri’s address confidentiality program. Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft explains some of the other requirements to vote absentee. “For mailing it in, you’ll need to have the ballot envelope notarized so that there’s some proof that the individual that was supposed to vote the ballot did vote it. Then you just send it back in. If you want to vote absentee in-person, just go to your election authority’s office, check the hours. Easiest if you have your government issued photo ID, like a driver’s license, but not required,” he said. The last day to request a mail-in absentee ballot for Missouri’s August primary election is July 20. Ashcroft strongly encourages voters to cast an absentee ballot in-person, rather than through the mail.

The 100 Insider: This election is what we’ve been working towards for the last year and a half. Don’t forget, if you have travel plans during the primary election August 2nd, you can vote absentee now. And, continue to remind friends and family about voting day!

ICYMI: A Tax-Cut Shindig Is Coming For Missouri Families
By Don Hinkle
JEFFERSON CITY -- The liberal echo chamber (Missouri newsrooms) thinks the Conservative Caucus may cause trouble when Gov. Parson calls for a special session (likely in September) to cut our taxes. Hogwash. We all know members of the Conservative Caucus in the Missouri Senate are the most fiscally conservative, tax-cut loving advocates in the General Assembly. Gov. Mike Parson is expected to call for a special session -- probably in September -- to deliver a welcomed tax cut for Missouri working families. There is not going to be strife as the process unfolds. It is going to be a tax-slashing party that is going to drive liberal, big government left wingers out of their minds.
Tax cuts are good for business and for Missouri working families. By the way, anything that strengthens the family unit pleases God, too. It also encourages a reduction in the size and scope of increasingly intrusive government that threatens our liberty rather than protecting it. I like this tax cut because it does more than put more money back in our pockets. It does so without contributing to Biden inflation. Inflation is caused by government injecting too much currency into our economy, thus devaluing our money. Tax cuts help relieve the pressure.
There may be some debate over the size of the tax cut, but make no mistake, conservatives in the Missouri Senate can't wait and will enthusiastically embrace this action. The question is how many Republicans are going to violate the Republican Party platform -- again -- and vote with left-wing, big government Democrats? I would urge them to get this right because the Republican grassroots in Missouri are already ablaze. Woe be unto any Republican who does not get onboard the "Tax-cut Express." I guarantee you, Conservative Caucus members in the Senate have already boarded. They will stand and remind us of the words of President Ronald Reagan: "Government is not the answer. Government IS the problem."
Get ready Missouri. You have a tax-cutting governor who has an itchy trigger pen and a pack of fiscally conservative Senators hungry to deliver. Grab some popcorn and get ready. Better still, join us in the gallery to watch it unfold. This is sure to be a gas.
A Business Executive And State Rep, Both Republicans, Vie For A Southwest Missouri Senate Seat
Residents in Greene, Webster, Dade and Barton counties will have a new state senator in January. It will be a Republican — the only question is which one. Curtis Trent, a lawmaker representing western Springfield in the Missouri House, and Brian Gelner, a beverage distribution company executive and owner, are running to represent Senate District 20, which spans the four southwest counties. The winner of the Aug. 2 primary will be the next senator for the district, since no Democrats or third-party candidates are running. The two have much in common: both born in the Show-Me State, both men of faith, both conservatives running under the GOP banner. But Trent and Gelner have laid out much different reasons why they believe their path and priorities are better suited to head to Jefferson City. The victor will succeed Sen. Eric Burlison, a Battlefield Republican who vacated the seat to run for Congress. Whoever wins will enter a state Senate currently defined by a deeply divided Republican supermajority.

The 100 Insider: Rep. Curtis Trent is a true conservative with a strong conservative 8 year voting record from the House. He has been vetted by The 100 while business owner, Brian Gelner, is the establishment candidate. Listen to Tim Jones analyze the two candidates as he gave a campaign update at the Tuesday night meeting. Start at the 5 minute mark here.
Federal Court Upholds Missouri Law Banning Abortions on Babies With Down Syndrome
A Missouri law that protects unborn babies with Down syndrome from discrimination is now in effect as the result of a federal appeals court ruling Friday. According to Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt’s office, the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals threw out two district court rulings that blocked the law, citing the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health. That means the state may begin enforcing the pro-life law, which bans abortions based solely on a prenatal diagnosis of Down syndrome. “This was expected in light of the Dobbs decision, but it is very welcome, nonetheless,” Samuel H. Lee of Campaign Life Missouri said in an email to LifeNews.com. “Pro-abortion critics said HB 126 was unconstitutional, but the latest ruling … demonstrates that persistence by pro-life lawmakers, lawyers and activists can end lethal discrimination of children in the womb.”
