A Missouri ballot measure to protect embryonic stem cell research won slim voter approval Tuesday, narrowly surviving an opposition campaign that for weeks had eroded the measure’s popularity, according to the Associated Press, which called the measure shortly before 2:30 a.m. Wednesday.
In other state news, in Wisconsin, Jim Doyle has retained the governorship, and in Michigan Jennifer Granholm has also kept her post. Stem cell research has been a campaign issue in both states.
