On Tuesday, September 10, seventy-six per cent of voters in Plainville, Massachusetts opted to support a proposal which would see Penn National Gaming operate a slot-machine parlour at Plainridge Racetrack.

A report on boston.com states that voter turnout was 37 per cent and that there were 1,582 votes in favour of the proposal and 502 opposed.

“It’s not bad considering we were dead three weeks ago,” Plainridge spokesman Bill Ryan was quoted as saying.
