Missouri's new statewide registration rule forces each resident to vote in their own precinct, prompting Mexico School District to create nearly double the precincts. Officials scramble to set polling places, hire judges, and organize supplies as districts rethink layouts and expect higher costs. County clerk Barnes maps new precincts, while districts protest rigid divisions and seek legislative relief to curb the stricter provisions.
