Charleston, WV table gaming vote

sem25 · #1 08-11-2007, 01:21 PM

People in Kanawha County in West Virginia are voting for table gaming (Poker/BJ/Roulette/etc) today. According to the article, it could go either way. Hopefully it passes so I have a place to play poker that isn't 3 hours away from me.

26% precincts reporting and it's REALLY close.
Yes is barely ahead but it's less than 51%.

Yay! Looks like it passes by 64 votes with 100% reporting.

Now let's see if they'll be able to run a decent room. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

that's going to be close enough to warrant a mandatory re-count I would have to think.

Also maybe there are some leftover ballots still to be received from over-seas or weird stuff like that. Probably couldn't be too many I imagine and it's looking good.

The anti-gambling movement in WV appeared to have put up a pretty good fight though. Got it voted down at 1 or 2 other places I believe.

Apparently, there's 150 or so votes not accounted for yet, so those results aren't official yet.
