Improved to Good Article status by Hog Farm (talk). Nominated by Onegreatjoke (talk) at 21:44, 12 May 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/1824 United States presidential election in Missouri; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
- @Hog Farm and Onegreatjoke: Recent GA qualifies. Earwig does not alert. Article has the correct inline citations and is neutral. The QPQ is done. I did not think the hook was good, perhaps one that reads better. Bruxton (talk) 02:47, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
