Plan C: Aug. 11

That's the new date for the table games special election in Kanawha County. The Associated Press is among those with the details.

Tri-State Racetrack and Gaming Center in Nitro had suggested June 30, after an advertising snafu forced the county from holding the vote on June 9.

The Kanawha County Commission wanted to ensure that with Aug. 11, it also met a 90-day requirement for scheduling an election.

But that time frame still allows Hancock County to hold its special election, as requested by Mountaineer Racetrack & Gaming Resort in Chester, on Jun 30.

Ohio and Jefferson county met the 30-day prior notice requirement, and so still plan to hold their special elections June 9.

The Charleston Gazette and Charleston Daily Mail both covered Thursday's Kanawha County Commission meeting, as did MetroNews.

Both AP and the Daily Mail, meanwhile, report on plans by gambling opponents to capitalize on the delays in their quest to defeat table games at the polls. Several of these foes have united to host a web site.
