[Sca-cooks] South Carolina Laws

[Mike Newton]

  Liquor stores are also closed on election days {I
> guess to keep you from using a bottle of Jack to buy someone's vote}.
Well you are partially right, the law goes back to early america when the
Tavern was the center of activity. Candidates or Party bosses in the town
would literally buy votes of the immigrants who couldn't speak English by
purchasing spirts for them and once drunk getting them to vote for them or
their candidate.  It is a Very good law in my opinion as one should be sober
when casting a ballot.
