State senators and delegates representing Burtonsville, Silver Spring and Takoma Park split Wednesday on whether to put expanded gaming up for a referendum.

The measure, which passed the Senate Wednesday morning with a 32-14 vote, would leave it up to voters to approve the expansion of gaming to a sixth location in the area that includes both National Harbor and Rosecroft Raceway. A majority of Prince George's County voters are required to vote in favor of a site in their county—something they rejected in 2008.

According to an unofficial roll call, Sens. Jamie Raskin (D-Dist 20, which includes Takoma Park and Silver Spring) and Karen Montgomery (D-Dist 14, which includes parts of Silver Spring and Burtonsville) both voted "nay" on the bill.

In the House of Delegates, which passed the bill 72-57, votes among East County representatives were split. 

Del. Heather Mizeur, who has been a vocal opponent of gaming, voted no while Dels. Sheila Hixson (D-Dist 20), Eric Luedtke (D-Dist 14), Anne Kaiser (D-Dist 14) and Craig Zucker (D-Dist 14) all voted yes. 

Del. Tom Hucker (D-Dist 20) was absent on Wednesday.
