For close readers we'd like to share a bit of raw data to better inform a local discussion.
The argument . . .
Look closely at voter returns for the recent Missouri Amendment 4 vote to increase police funding and notice overwhelming victories in Clay & Platte Counties INCLUDING VOTING DISTRICTS INSIDE OF KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI.
We'll show our work on this because there are quite a few political liars trying to deceive local reporters.
In Platte County the numbers easily show the trend . . .

Click the image or this link in order to take a closer glimpse . . . There's no big divergence throughout the county and every voting district seems to support voting to increase police funding by a margin of 25-30 points.
Clay County numbers follow a similar pattern . . .

Again, click those images or visit the Clay County Election Board to see for yourself.
There was only 1 voting jurisdiction of 1600 voters where the effort didn't pass . . .
Throughout Clay County and most areas INSIDE OF KCMO CITY LIMITS the margin of victory for Amendment 4 was A LANDSLIDE average of about 15-20 points in support of police funding.
Want can we take away from these returns???
A vote for local control isn't an assured victory for anti-police advocates. They face a brick wall of Northland opposition and a great deal of skepticism from throughout KCMO.
None of this is to say that we shouldn't have a vote on it.
But, it's important to offer an accurate summary of voter sentiment given that MSM is only presenting a biased view from city hall with no supporting data.
Developing . . .
