Prop A Ballot Language, what a mess
As you can see, this ballot issue does not create an Office of Assessor-Recorder, or name the Assessor as Recorder, or make the Recorder a mayoral appointment. It seeks to eliminate the office and title of Recorder of Deeds, which, under Missouri law, means the Assessor could not record deeds, issue Marriage Licenses, or make certified copies of Marriage Licenses or deeds. This ballot issue is poorly written and never should have been circulated as an initiative petition.
Absentee Voting for April 4th on hold
St. Louis City Board of Election Commissioners is unable to certify the ballot for the April 4th General Election because of a law suit. Independent candidate Kacey Cordes brought suit against the Board of Election for denying her placement on the ballot because she did not turn in 488 valid nominating signatures. In fact, she turned in no signatures.
On Monday, March 13th the Circuit Court rejected Cordes’ arguments but Cordes says she will appeal.
