There are still 80-year-old laws on the books in South Carolina & Kentucky making it illegal to buy or to serve alcohol on Election Day. "The … sales ban is a relic of the Prohibition era when saloons sometimes served as polling stations," says Ben Jenkins, the vice president of the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States. The laws were also in place to prevent buying votes with booze.
