Singles & eps, about riverboat gamblers.
While the most visible wing of the early-2000s American punk scene has been marked by Warped Tour-ready pop-punk and emo acts, Texas's Riverboat Gamblers offer up a necessary dose of old-fashioned trash-punk sleaze. Singing about the glories of boozy late nights, too many cigarettes in the ash tray, and the pride of the working man, the Gamblers offer a raucous counterpoint to the heart-on-our-sleeves earnestness of many of their contemporaries.

Path to the ballot
Process in missouri.
In Missouri, the number of signatures required to qualify an initiated constitutional amendment for the ballot is equal to 8 percent of the votes cast for governor in the previous gubernatorial election in six of the eight state congressional districts. Signatures must be filed with the secretary of state six months prior to the election.
The requirements to get an initiated constitutional amendment certified for the 2024 ballot:
- Signatures : The smallest possible requirement was 171,592 valid signatures . The actual requirement depends on the congressional districts in which signatures were collected.
- Deadline : The deadline to submit signatures was May 5, 2024.
Once the signatures have been filed with the secretary of state, the secretary copies the petition sheets and transmits them to county election authorities for verification. The secretary of state may choose whether the signatures are to be verified by a 5 percent random sample or full verification . If the random sampling projects between 90 percent and 110 percent of required signatures, a full check of all signatures is required. If more than 110 percent, the initiative is certified, and, if less than 90 percent, the initiative fails.

- The Osage River Gaming & Convention committee said it submitted over 320,000 signatures on May 5, 2024. [10]
- On August 13, 2024, Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft (R) reported that the ballot initiative did not meet signature requirements. [11]
- On August 30, 2024, a Cole County judge ruled that the initiative had enough valid signatures in six of the eight congressional districts, and should appear on the ballot. [12]
