2016
Elections for the Missouri House of Representatives took place in 2016. The primary election was held on August 2, 2016, and the general election was held on November 8, 2016. The candidate filing deadline was March 29, 2016.
The results of the Democratic primary on August 2, 2016, were thrown out after Bruce Franks filed a lawsuit claiming that there were irregularities with the absentee ballots in the election. On primary election night, Franks appeared to have won the primary by 90 votes, but a large number of absentee ballots gave incumbent Penny Hubbard the victory. Judge Rex Burlison ruled that 142 absentee ballots should not have been counted by the City of St. Louis Board of Elections because they did not arrive in sealed envelopes. State election law specifies that absentee ballot must arrive in sealed envelopes. The new election was held on September 16, 2016.[1]
Bruce Franks defeated Erik Shelquist in the Missouri House of Representatives District 78 general election.[2]
