Boone County results buck statewide trend, reject Proposition C
With 723 of 3,354 Missouri precincts reporting, Proposition C, the ballot measure to nullify the federal health care law, stands to pass with 75 percent of the vote. Despite this statewide margin, the latest results show Boone County voters are rejecting the proposition, with 51 percent against the proposal.
As of 8:55 p.m., U.S. Senate candidate Robin Carnahan leads the Democratic primary race with 82 percent of the statewide vote and Roy Blunt leads his party's race for U.S. Senate candidacy with 71 percent.
Among Boone County voters, Carnahan leads by a wider margin, pulling in 91 percent over opponents Francis Vangeli and Richard Tolbert. Boone County voters remained consistent with their fellow Missourians in the Republican primary race. Blunt has garnered 70 percent of the vote, maintaining a comfortable lead over his closest opponent, Chuck Purgason, who has 20 percent of Boone County's vote.
Purgason hasn't fared as well throughout the rest of Missouri. Statewide, he's brought in 13 percent of votes.

That's not true. This was put up way too quick. Boone County currently is reporting 59.4% voting yes with 38 of 55 precincts reporting.

Boone County is now with the rest of the state. You spoke on limited results. No story there.
