Missouri can keep using disputed federal database to review voter eligibility - Sedalia Democrat (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Missouri can continue using a federal database to review voter eligibility after the U.S. Supreme Court temporarily cleared the way for states to use an expanded version of the system to check the citizenship status of registered voters.

Missouri says its intoxicating hemp ban is clear. Industry says it’s unconstitutional - Sedalia Democrat (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A federal judge is being asked to decide whether Missouri’s new law banning intoxicating hemp products is clear enough to enforce in November or so contradictory that a constitutional challenge to it should move forward.

A coalition of hemp businesses filed a federal lawsuit Thursday in an attempt to halt a statewide ban on intoxicating hemp products from going into effect in November.
