The polls were way off what was predicted. There were reports of possible voter suppression in a few precincts. There were also complaints of people voting Democrat or Libertarian about how it appeared their votes flipped Republican on the voting machines.

Trump was expected to win Missouri. Greitens and Koster were predicted close with the edge to Koster up through poll closing. Blunt and Kander were predicted to have one of the closest races in the U.S. that year with a coin toss for who would win. Complaints came from KC,Columbia and St Louis about voting issues-places that Koster and Kander should have swept.

It's not often discussed in mention to Missouri but it's rumored to have happened here. We didn't appear to be as blatant as other states.
