JEFFERSON CITY — State election officials expect about one-quarter of Missouri's eligible voters to cast ballots during Tuesday's primary election.
The projected 24 percent turnout would mean more than 1 million ballots are cast in the statewide primary. Missourians are voting in two statewide races and for a ballot measure that seeks to reject part of the federal health care overhaul. Republican Roy Blunt and Democrat Robin Carnahan are the front-runners in the top race to replace retiring GOP Sen. Kit Bond.
