With three of West Virginia's four racetrack counties likely to vote June 9 on the casino table games questions, employees at Hancock County's Mountaineer Race Track & Gaming Resort plan to go door-to-door to gather support, the Wheeling newspapers report.
That track is expected to petition its county's commission this week for a special election. The tracks in Kanawha and Ohio counties have already gotten their commissioners to schedule Saturday voting on that date.
The fourth track, Charles Town Races & Slots, meanwhile is polling Jefferson County residents by phone to gauge feelings there, according to The Journal of Martinsburg.
John Finamore, senior vice president of track parent Penn National Gaming Inc., tells that newspaper that initial results have been "very encouraging."
The West Virginia Family Foundation earlier announced plans to sue to challenge the new law and block the local option elections.
