154: 428:"40 percent of the state budget" โ†’ percentages are given with the "%" symbol in the lead ("passed with 53.27% of the vote"), "Results" ("The measure was approved with 53% of the vote"), and "Aftermath" ("with only 7% of newly eligible Missourians"), so either this should be changed to the symbol or all of those instances should be spelled out (though I would go for the former) 371:"The measure was supported most in urban areas and opposed by conservatives" โ†’ this sounds like a strict dichotomy is being made between urban areas and conservative voters, which is not strictly incorrect but I would set this up differently. Maybe "supported most by liberal voters and opposed by conservatives" or "...and opposed in rural areas" 171:
I've listed this article for peer review because I am considering an FAC push for this page but am unaware of how high the bar is for FA. I am especially unfamiliar with the standard for Featured Article Criteria 1a-c (well written, comprehensive, and using high-quality sources). As well, I am unsure
402:
The deadline for the state to implement the specified Medicaid expansion would be July 1, 2021" โ†’ is this a part of the amendment or supplementary information? If it's just there to let the reader know when the deadline was, then the present tense sounds out of place and I would change this to "was

I've gone through all of your suggestions and implemented them, though some were modified, for example "conservative-leaning" seems better than "conservative-voting" to me. I've added the (attempted) raised bar too. I'll probably leave this open for a bit longer and nominate in August (maybe on the
472:"In early 2022, the state found it was taking 70 days to process" โ†’ this sentence doesn't have to be about what the state found it was doing, you can just make it about what the state was doing: "In early 2022, the state was taking 70 days..." 230:
I'm sorry this took so long but I have some time to give this a look now. Comments are below, I'm just treating this like I would if it were at FAC. Overall the article is very well-done, just some picky things below!

Having an identical website and publisher isn't necessary (like "Missouri Secretary of State" in FN 8 or "CNN/Cable News Network" in FN 12 and 13). I'd just fill in "website" in these cases.
452:"The year following the measure's passage" โ†’ couldn't hurt to give a date here, though keeping "the year following..." would also be ideal here to give the reader some sense of a timescale 176:
to set a higher bar for the passage of future ballot initiatives. I think it is not relevant enough to be included in the article, though I would like outside input on that.
126: 122: 541: 337:
Also, as a note: the AP link you provided about the raised bar for future amendments directly mentions this one, so I think it's worth a mention in "Aftermath".
107: 76: 469:"compared to about half in Idaho and Montana" โ†’ recommend replacing "about half" to "about 50%", so it's clear you're not trying to say "about half of 7%" 99: 392:"in conservative states such as" โ†’ I would avoid labelling whole states as "conservative"; maybe use "conservative-voting" or something like that 202:
I'll give this one a read - this will be my first PR but I've got some experience at FAC so I'll try to give you some FAC-applicable comments.
173: 403:
July 1, 2021", or if you want to keep the sense of unknown surrounding whether it would pass or not, you can use "was to be July 1, 2021"
478:"However, after" โ†’ "However" isn't always a bad thing but I think here you can go without and just say "After a Supreme Court..." (see 295: 269: 188: 304:
Sounds good. If and when you get this up at FAC, give me a ping and I will give it another look there. Best of luck going forward!
463:" โ†’ this is repetitive (emphasis mine) - to solve this, I would cut the end of the sentence to read "...the 38th state to opt-in." 556: 69: 521:
Citations stand alone in their usage, so there is no problem with repeating the same link in many citations within an article.
353: 320: 247: 218: 115: 475:"passage of the initiative are unsustainable" โ†’ the rest of the sentence is past tense, but use of "are" is present tense 442:
53% of the vote, not exactly 53%, though you don't have to spell out "53.27%" since that's given right below in the table
