Texas Horse Racing Referendum Reveals Voter Apathy
Texas voters largely ignored the pari mutuel racing issue in the May 5 primaries. Propositions 1 and 2 failed to win statewide by over 100,000 votes, with more than 1.4 million ballots cast but about 312,000 voters not voting on the issue. Arthur Seeligson Jr. cited poor campaigning and machine placement as factors, noting many voters did not read or see the racing questions. Pro-racing leaders plan a permanent HQ and further meetings in July to push for legalization.
