Voters waited in line for several hours to vote and I'm sure some left before ever voting. In 2012 there wasn't much devoted to Missouri for the presidential election. Nationals chose not to focus on us and I understand-spend the money where the biggest punch will happen. The big focus in Missouri in 2012 was on reelecting Claire McCaskill over the idiot Todd Akin.
The poll for 2016 is just too soon. Nothing is happening here yet but it sounds like there will be an effort put into Missouri. There has been some local talk about grassroots work for Bernie. I've received emails from groups that plan on making targeted moves with Hillary's campaign. The primary season can change everything.
