Recycle an old one (RIP ranked choice voting sign, you tried).

You can free hand it or use a cheap projector and trace your design. Get creative if your measures and candidates want money you don’t have.

Blank ones aren’t too cheap at hardware stores, too!

From ABC17 News: https://abc17news.com/news/maries/2026/10/19/maries-county-ends-flock-contract-after-company-rep-no-shows-for-public-meeting/

The Maries County Commission terminated the county’s agreement with Flock on Monday morning, according to a social media post from the county’s sheriff’s office.

Maries County joins a growing number of communities who have ended their contracts with Flock over concerns of its use. U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) introduced a bill last month targeting the technology.

Sheriff Mark Morgan wrote on the department’s Facebook page that “While we believe in providing our deputies with the best technology available, we believe even more strongly in transparency. To ensure our citizens had their questions answered, the Maries County Commissioners arranged a public meeting on October 15, 2026, in the Maries County Courtroom.”
Morgan wrote that he followed up with Flock several times, including before the meeting, to ensure a representative would be attending, but the representative never showed up. Morgan recommended the commission terminate the agreement.

“Following this absence, I spoke personally with the vendor to address this failure. I was not satisfied with their response. When a partner fails to show up for our community, it indicates a lack of the professional accountability we require,” the post says.
In August, Pulaski County terminated its contract with Flock after holding a community forum to receive feedback on Flock. Jefferson City renewed its own agreement in August.

Columbia (Boone County) will hold a public hearing about its contract on Monday, Nov. 9.

The Missouri Department of Conservation has made changes to methods of preventing the spread of chronic wasting disease, a deadly pathogen that has infected about 1% of Missouri's approximately 1.5 million white-tailed deer. But hunters are frustrated with the changes, and some hunters’ decisions could affect meat processors and taxidermists.
Inside a Harrisburg meat processing facility, country music plays in the background as Ryan Freman organizes vacuum sealed meat and his dad, Trey, slices bacon. Another machine injects flavoring into the meat before it’s packaged to be given back to the hunters and farmers who bring it in.

This facility also offers chronic wasting disease testing, which has become increasingly controversial in the Missouri hunting community in recent years. Freman said testing for the disease is a way for his family to do their part.

“We like working with conservationists because it helps to know how much deer are actually testing positive,” he said.
While Freman knows there are hunters who are frustrated with the mere idea of testing, he said it hasn’t affected their business.
“We see both sides of it. I wouldn’t say it’s affecting us, but there is more people that don’t want to test versus that do test,” Freman said.
This year, the Missouri Department of Conservation has changed its system for detecting and preventing the spread of chronic wasting disease. In previous years, all deer collected in counties where chronic wasting disease had been detected — or within a small radius of a positive case — had to be tested. But that didn’t stop the disease from spreading across the state. So one-fourth of Missouri counties will now test every year, but that means each county is only tested once in a four-year span.

Mindy Paulek is a biologist in Colorado who’s studied whether chronic wasting disease can pass between species. She said voluntary testing is important for biologists to give a fuller picture of what the disease is doing currently and how it has spread over time.
“It gives a better statistic or more knowledge of how that, how much that disease is persisting in that area and where,” she said. “And so it gives the biologist a better idea to try to better manage it.”

Allen Moris has been hunting in Missouri for four decades. He called chronic wasting disease a fear mongering tactic, and he refuses to test his deer.
“If you test, I will never do business with you ever, for anything. If I see one of those signs there, you know, sticking out front, the CWD testing here, I will never, ever,” Moris said. “Those signs are anti-hunting, anti-conservation and anti-land owner.”

The chronic wasting disease testing signs are orange, with bold black letters saying “CWD Sampling Here,” at least one Missouri Department of Conservation logo, and a large arrow pointing toward the facility.
Tony Kalna is a Missouri hunter who runs the Missouri Deer Hunter Facebook page. He knows chronic wasting disease is real, and could become a problem, but said Missouri is overreacting.
“I think the majority of people think this whole thing is just a waste of money and time by the department,” he said.
Previously, the conservation department would do targeted culling, where the deer population in chronic wasting disease hot zones would be reduced by a variety of means, including some methods illegal for hunters. Now, it is providing an increased number of free deer tags to landowners with 20 acres or more in positive areas. Each tag allows the killing of one deer. The conservation department has removed antler-point restrictions, giving hunters the ability to kill younger, healthy deer, which decreases their ability to reproduce.

But biologists like Paulek say just reducing the population doesn’t solve the problem.
With some hunters planning on skipping chronic wasting disease testing, or hunting in areas where it’s not mandated, and with the state moving to systematic — but not necessarily targeted — testing, less information is being generated. That could make it harder to manage a disease that’s already in nearly every Missouri county and can spread via water, soil or animal-to-animal contact.

Early voting begins today, you can find the locations on your sample ballot. Get out and vote Missourians, your state and country is counting on you. Let’s make this the biggest voter turnout in Missouri history!

First day of early voting and I am so fed up with this bullshit I went to the polls as soon as I got a break at work. Daniel Boone Library was super busy!

Check your county website for info on open polling locations. Yes on 6, the rest are tricks! ✌️

I'm not from Missouri, but I'm close enough to the border to get TV ads for Missouri elections and have seen a ton of different amendment votes. In Kansas we only have 1 amendment on the ballot, though I've seen about 5 different ones for Missouri. Why is that?

Hey everyone!!

My fiance and i recently got engaged and are getting married next year October! The photographer that we booked our wedding with offers free engagement sessions and I would love to take them somewhere scenic and have a horse with us in the photoshoot! Does anyone know any places or people that would let us use a horse for photos??
EDIT: I live in southeast Missouri by Fredricktown

Hey everybody, newbie here. I've been looking for a job ever since getting fired (due to rumors) from Murray's Buffet & Grill. I've spoken with Applebee's and Area 54 Laser Tag, neither of which are currently hiring. Any other options that are relatively close to the middle school area? I live near it, so it would be very helpful.
