(24,401 posts)even at this late point in the early p.m. (I had waited until the initial crush of voters came and went after the polls opened). I was surprised at how many there were, but pleasantly surprised, it's nice to see the interest there.
This bodes well I think, in MO for our team. But there were also amendments on sports betting and other stuff, but I don't think that is the main driver of getting people out. The sports betting, license revenues would go to schools in the state, as well as a gambling boat on the Lake of the Ozarks, license revenues would also go to the schools.
Neither of these two would be a huge amount of money, considering that how many schools are in the state of MO alone? Roughly 2,500 schools, so each school wouldn't receive a terrific amount of money as the Ads seem to indicate. We voted against the measures since they had the same argument for allowing the Lottery into the state of MO, and then we heard absolutely nothing about how much the schools had gotten from the lottery. Sounded kind of funny to us that they didn't say one single word about how much had been given to the schools from the Lottery (already approved).
