1. But while 76% of Mainstream voters think the United States should continue to build the fence, 67% of the Political Class are opposed to it.
2. Missouri Health Care Freedom, Proposition C aims to block the federal government from requiring people to buy health insurance and bans punishment for those without health insurance. It was approved by 72.7% of the electorate.
