More Hot Hot Webcam Action This Afternoon

Philly’s Ballot Box/Casino Free Philadelphia/Whatever is holding a press conference this afternoon to announce the results of the citizens ballot taken on May 15. (”First citizens’ ballot in the United States since 1963,” says the release.) Looking at it from a common-sense perspective, the results will almost certainly be “Yes” to the “Should casinos be kept 1500 feet from schools and churches” question, as, uh, who would vote in a non-binding election that takes extra time to fill out forms and gives your personal information to strangers unless they were against casinos? Oh, but apparently Frank DiCicco is going to get a city ordinance passed which will mirror the results of the ballot box, so democracy and whatnot.

The anti-casino people are really operating an excellent media campaign, as they’ve even webcasted the ballot counting and will show today’s press conference live on air as well. Plus, they allowed people to vote in, like, Love Park and Dilworth Plaza. (Some people still managed to vote on the question even though it was removed from the ballot.)

The press conference starts at 3 today, although the above graphic says there’s apparently going to be a half-hour pre-show on the Philly’s Ballot Box, hosted by Joan Rivers.
