The State Committee passed both resolutions after spending most of the year trying to keep the measures off the ballot in the first place. Proposition A asks voters to weigh in on the 2025 redistricting map through a referendum. Amendment 6 would limit how much lawmakers can change laws that voters already approved through initiative petition.
Party leaders told the committee they plan to build out actual campaign efforts on both measures this week, meaning the push is starting just weeks before Election Day. A conservative group called Act for Missouri livestreamed the committee session on social media. That group opposes Amendment 6 and supports the other side of the fight.
For Missouri voters, this means two competing efforts are now racing to shape opinion on measures the party fought to keep away from them entirely. A "yes" vote on Proposition A would back the new redistricting lines. A "no" vote on Amendment 6 would preserve lawmakers' ability to alter voter-passed initiatives, the very power the amendment seeks to restrict.
Republicans spent the year trying to stop voters from deciding these questions. Now they're racing the clock to tell them how to vote on them.
