Missouri voters passed a constitutional amendment requiring Kansas City to increase its funding to the KCPD, but rejected a measure allowing property tax exemptions for child care centers. And the contenders are set for November's elections for U.S. Senate, U.S. House, Missouri governor and other statewide races.

KCUR's Lisa Rodriguez breaks down the election results with Brian Ellison and Savannah Hawley-Bates.
