Turnout favors clarifying will in Lincoln County special election
The election drew about 65 percent turnout, lower than the 75 percent in the 2008 presidential vote, as residents weighed a local tax to back a racetrack and casino. Supporters said the tax would anchor the economy, while opponents warned of a bailout. Local leaders pushed a county option to levy a gross receipts tax after lengthy debate. A political action committee claimed the track's economic impact at about 45 million dollars yearly.
