Formal update sent to the Missouri Secretary of State Elections Division on March 3, 2026. Key fact: postage on the certified envelope containing all Republican filing fees was paid at 3:45 p.m. — exactly 36 minutes after the clerk was emailed a copy of the complaint at 3:09 p.m. The clerk replied that she was at a doctor’s appointment and offered security footage. The update states that the delayed forwarding does not negate the original offense. No rebuttal has been received.
