Missouri voters overwhelmingly rejected a ballot measure that would have launched the state down a five-year path to eliminate its personal income tax and expand its ability to impose sales levies on new goods and services.

The measure, known as Amendment 5, sunk by a 83% to 17% vote, according to preliminary results posted by state election officials.
