From Ohio. Can't speak for Missouri, but the reality here is that like most states, it's a rural-urban divide more than a "the whole state is red." Ohio has a solid red majority, especially in the legislature, but the cities are very blue and there are plenty of moderates. So I think those groups passed it, but you could see the conservative legislators were none too happy about it and were going to fight implementation tooth and nail, just like they'd like to do with abortion protections. There is sadly a pretty strong division as with many issues in this country, but enough of a majority to move the needle at least.
