Missouri Vote Returns Show Democrats Sweep State
Missouri appears to have swept the state with William J. Stone securing the U.S. Senate, a Democratic statewide ticket, and gains in Congress while amendments on the ballot were decisively defeated. St Louis swung to Republicans though, and statewide results hint at large Democratic majorities in both chambers as well as shifting county tallies.
