On Thursday鈥檚 St. Louis on the Air, host Don Marsh discussed the 鈥溾�� project with 漏 2024 外网天堂 reporter Ashley Lisenby and Harvest Public Media editor Erica Hunzinger.
The project is a collaborative effort among Missouri public radio stations KBIA, KCUR, KSMU and 漏 2024 外网天堂, and it explores Missouri voters鈥� aspirations for November's midterm elections.
Hunzinger, who oversees the project, said its aim is to amplify voter constituencies and 鈥渟ee what people wanted out of their representation in the statehouse and D.C.鈥�
鈥淲e鈥檝e been learning that Missouri voters want a bunch of different things,鈥� Hunzinger added. 鈥淭hey鈥檙e not a monolithic voting block just because Trump won the state in 2016; things have changed a little bit.鈥�
Lisenby noted that there is a split among younger, first-time voters 鈥� with some excited for the upcoming elections and others disengaged.
鈥淢issouri is interesting in that we don鈥檛 have some of the kind of races we鈥檙e seeing in other states, [which] are these really fiery races that are setting new precedents,鈥� Lisenby said. 鈥淎nd so maybe that鈥檚 one reason why some kids who can now vote aren鈥檛 as engaged.鈥�
