missouri election results
Situated in the mid-west of America, Missouri is the 18th most populous states in the United States of America. Having a mix of urban and rural cultures, Missouri election results have so far been an accurate predictor of who the next president of America would be. A big exception was made last year, when in the November 2008 presidential election, John McCain and Sarah Palin from the Republican Party won over Barack Obama and Joe Biden of the Democratic Party in the Missouri election results by just 0.1%. The majority John McCain had over Barack Obama is quite negligent, but still the Missouri election results show just how close an election it was in the usually popular Republican state.
Missouri is also called a bellwhether state in America. That is, Missouri has the highest number of times of having supported the national winner of the Presidential race in the country in every election since 1904, and so Missouri election results are historically considered to be an accurate representation of what the presidential race will end up as. The only two occsaions this did not happen was in the election of 1956 when Eisenhower won, and in 2008 when Obama won. It is no surprise then that candidates try very hard to win over the people in this state, and focus a lot on the outcome of this state.
Missouri election results play an important role in the presidential, and any other election as well. As one of the most populated states in America, the voting public of Missouri plays a vital role in selecting who would serve them as the new president. This power is something that has to be used wisely. The responsibility we have towards society, our country and out future generation is shown in the choices we make today in any election. But it finally boils down to each one of us, as we all have the power to make the change we want in today’s world.
