Missouri Sports Betting Referendum Expected to Be Close, Poll Concludes
Missourians will likely vote for the next US president this November, and also whether they support the authorization of retail and online sports betting.
Missouri State Secretary Jay Ashcroft’s (R) office is currently validating the more than 340K signatures that the Winning for Missouri Education campaign submitted in early May. The resident signatures lend support to a statewide sports gambling referendum that would amend the Missouri Constitution to permit sports betting.
New polling from Emerson College and The Hill suggests the outcome of the sports betting question will be razor-thin should the referendum reach voters.
