Marc Cox and Kim St. Onge kick off the third hour highlighting voter turnout trends ahead of Tuesday's election, providing an in-depth constitutional breakdown of Missouri Amendment 6 and warning how out-of-state funding could enforce ranked-choice voting across the state. On the "Marc Cox Shortlist," Cox contrasts cultural campaign rhetoric from JD Vance and David Jolly, alongside reporting on Democratic candidate recruitment efforts in Alaska. Former U.S. Senator Jim Talent joins to discuss The New York Times expose on Alaska's dual Dan Sullivan ballot scheme and analyze coalition maneuvering following Benjamin Netanyahu's plurality win in Israel's parliamentary elections. Former Missouri State Senator Andrew Koenig discusses his campaign for St. Louis County Council District 3, offering fiscal reforms to tackle the county's $19 million budget deficit and reaffirming opposition to county tax measures and city-county consolidation. The hour concludes with "Kim on a Whim," analyzing a Texas state lawsuit against Shein over dangerous concentrations of lead, formaldehyde, and forever chemicals detected in discount fast-fashion clothing.
