Recount confirms no slots at Scarborough Downs

Return Home
December 03, 2008 Send To A Friend  | Print View

A recount conducted Tuesday in Scarborough, Maine, has confirmed voters turned down a proposal to allow the installation of slot machines at Scarborough Downs, with more than 11,000 ballots hand counted. The recount resulted in eight ballots being challenged and eight ballots being disputed, so the 16 votes were thrown out since there was no overall impact on the voting, which showed a 5,804-5,565 original tally and now is recorded at 5,797-5,557.

The confirmation also led to renewed speculation that track officials would close the track and move to another jurisdiction more favorable to adding slots, which are already in place at Bangor Raceway in the state. A lawyer for the racetrack was quoted as saying that racing dates are already in place for 2009 but there are no guarantees beyond that.
