Judges order election board to amend slot question

Published September 11, 2008 4:00am ET



A panel of three judges in Anne Arundel County has ordered the state elections board to slightly change the ballot question on the slots constitutional amendment to specify that the gaming proceeds will go for the “primary” purpose of raising money for schools.

The judges said the failure to include the word “primary” was “misleading,” but they rejected all the other arguments challenging the ballot questions.

Opponents of slots plan to appeal the decision.
