ProPublica reports that Missouri voters approved Amendment 6 on November 3, 2026, requiring 80% legislative support and statewide voter approval before lawmakers can repeal citizen initiatives or revive rejected laws, protecting measures including the 2024 abortion rights amendment. The article traces the backlash to Republican overrides of voter-approved Medicaid expansion, paid sick leave, and abortion rights, and to voters' August rejection of a proposal making initiatives harder to pass.
