Update on the La Strada whistleblower lawsuit: Hoskins’ office has now responded in court. When we first covered this, the record was entirely one side’s account — Hoskins’ office had not yet commented. That’s changed. On October 22, the Attorney General’s office filed its Answer and denied nearly every substantive allegation in the suit. A few things worth knowing: ✅ The state admits La Strada’s Capitol badge and system access were cut before the federal hearing, and that he wasn’t told in advance, but for cause. ❌ The state flatly denies retabulating the Marshall Ward 3 election and denies any discussion of fabricating whistleblower evidence. 🆕 New explanation: the state says La Strada’s access was pulled because he made unauthorized changes to voter audit logs — not in retaliation for anything he reported. It also argues the lawsuit may fail on legal technicalities regardless of what actually happened. This is still one side’s sworn position against the other’s — an answer isn’t evidence any more than a petition was. But for the first time, both accounts are now on the record. We broke down each allegation against the new filing, with a link to the Answer itself: act4mo.org/posts/la-strada-l… Principle over party means following the record wherever it goes — even when it gets more complicated, not less.

"We're not a theocracy." That's true, and it's the argument Christians keep hearing for why we should accept Amendment 3's exceptions. At Monday's debate at Mizzou Law, Sen. Joe Nicola said it plainly: we live in a representative republic, and complete abolition "is not an option in this election." But not being a theocracy doesn't mean Christians set God's law aside when we vote. If God's standard binds my conduct, it binds my ballot. In our new article we look at: • Why Amendment 3 isn't ordinary incrementalism. It writes into our Constitution that abortion "may be performed or induced" depending on how a child was conceived or what his diagnosis is. • What Saul, Aaron, and Romans 3:8 teach about doing evil that good may come. • Why "impossible" hasn't been tested. The Missouri Senate has never brought a personhood amendment to the floor for a vote. • The incremental step we could have supported: repeal the 2024 amendment and stop there. God never asked His people to guarantee outcomes. He asked them to be faithful. Read it here: new-site.act4mo.org/posts/fa… #MOleg
