A spokesperson for the campaign to get sports wagering on the ballot in Missouri said on Tuesday that they have passed a significant threshold.
The “Winning for Missouri Education” shared they’ve collected 300 thousand signatures about a month out from their deadline to file with the state.
This push came together through the efforts of Missouri’s six pro-sports franchises including the Kansas City Royals and the Chiefs.
And after years of gridlock in the legislature, this issue looks to be headed to the November ballot. Signatures will still need to be verified and the campaign is aiming to collect nearly double the amount of required signatures.
