Webmaster's note: the folk at Phillysballotbox.org want you to vote twice this election:
once for Mayor in the "real" election and once (on your way out) on
the casino question in their shadow election.
On Election Day (Tuesday, May 15th), every Philadelphian will have an opportunity to vote on whether to keep casinos 1500 feet from schools, places of worship, parks and homes. But it won't be in the voting booth.
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court placed an injunction on the city removing Question #1 from the ballot, so we've created our own citizens' election process. We're giving Philadelphia three ways to vote on Tuesday, May 15th:
Legislation introduced in City Council is awaiting the result of the citizens election. And at least one ballot box has been placed in every state representative's district, along with other high-traffic locations throughout the city, to let them know what their constituency wants.
