Question Re: Missouri’s Right to Work law

Last night Missouri had a proposition to keep “Right to Work”. Voters overwhelmingly chose No. (900k votes to 400k yes votes)
My question is why the hell would this law be put to vote on a primary night? Is it normal for a proposition like this that carries a ton of weight to be held on a primary/special election night? Seems like it would be a no brainer this should be put on the November ballot for general elections...

Yeah, sounds like they messed up. Union stuff and weed are good get out the base and the young folks issues.

I'm sure there was some frickery going on with that. It probably affected the Democratic primary for St Louis County executive. I don't know what effect it may have had on other elections around the state.
But there is always frickery going on with when to put stuff on the ballot. Back in 2012 or so, the city of St Louis overwhelmingly voted to cut the number of wards (and thus city council members) in half from 28 to 14. This was on one of the Obama ballots so turn out was incredible. And again, passed in a landslide.
Now that it's supposed to happen soon, some city council members want to put it on an April ballot next year to undo the previous vote. They want to use the lowest turn out election time to change something that was passed during one of the highest voter turnouts the city has seen. It's borderline criminal.

The republicans actually favored having it last night I read.
That was a mistake and this is a bad thing for Missouri.
