Just three days left to vote early in Kanawha County and so far, a record number of voters have cast an early ballot. Election workers say more than 6,000 people have come in to vote over the past few weeks.

The only thing on the ballot is whether to make Tri-State Racetrack and Gaming Center a full-blown casino.

Voters in Hancock and Ohio counties have already decided to allow poker, blackjack and other table games at their race tracks. Jefferson voters rejected the idea. The special election for Kanawha County is this Saturday.

We will have live coverage of the results during our evening newscasts and you can get updates on the election on our webchannel, wsaz.com.

The political vision of a summer gas tax holiday died a quick death in Congress, losing to a view that federal excise taxes on gasoline and diesel fuel will have to go up if they go anywhere.
