This year, the Missouri General Assembly passed a deceptive measure that could actually make it harder for us to hold our leaders accountable. You will see this measure on your November ballot, claiming that it stops noncitizens from voting — even though that has been illegal for a century. It’s an unnecessary and misleading proposal, but without Missourians reading the fine print, it may very well pass — based on a lie.
One of the simplest examples is called “pick-all-you-like” or approval voting: When voters go to the ballots, they can choose any number of candidates they support, rather than being forced to settle on one option.
Unfortunately, the legislature’s trick measure in November would take away your choice to hold leaders accountable by hiding what’s really on the ballot. It’s a deceptive attack on local control.

Thank you mr Fleshy.
Don't you think multiple ranked choice is a better voting mechanism?
It's my preferred, however, almost anything that moves away from the one-choice, winner-takes-all design is an easy win IMHO.
So why was it presented as a voting manipulation? Is it deception?
The deception is that the item presented for vote appears to be about illegal voting of non-citizens, but this isn’t related to the actual law being voted upon.
That's why I don't like you mammals! You're all... fleshy.
I was born ready to go full cyborg. I am not impressed with the meat.
From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel, I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine
