excerpt:

ANCHORAGE — A ballot measure that would create a Gaming Commission was lagging Tuesday.

With 70 percent of the vote counted, the initiative was losing with more than 62 percent of voters rejecting it.

The seven-member commission would be created within the state Department of Revenue under Ballot Measure 1.

Only legislators now have authority to expand gambling.
