So I asked my husband to pick up some beer from the grocery on his way home. He's there roughly at 6:00, but they won't sell him beer because of the primary. His receipt said 6:01, but he didn't really argue the matter. Polls close at 6:00, sales should re-open then too.
So as my husband is putting the kids to bed, I decide to walk to the store before the game. I only take my keys (which has their discount card) and my card to pay. It wasn't until I head to the register that I think, I might need ID. But I've been shopping here for years, so I don't worry too much about it. I get to the register and the lady asks me, "I hope you have ID with you." I laugh and say no. So after a little hassle with someone in charge at the service desk, I'm allowed to buy the beer. Less than two years from turning 40 and I'm being questioned about buying alcohol! Sweet!

They stop alcohol sales during voting hours?

Man, that's a dumb law. Drinking totally helps you vote.

Yep, it's a state thing. I always forget about it since it's only twice a year and, as a result, am usually inconvenienced by it.Leroy wrote:They stop alcohol sales during voting hours?
While the polls are open in Kentucky today, you are not able to buy alcohol.
Kentucky is one of the few states still banning liquor sales in bars and retail stores while voting is going on. Once the polls close Tuesday night at six, alcohol sales can resume.

The nation could take care of its problem with no youth voting easily if they offered free alcohol after voting...

I make it a policy to never vote sober. Obviously, many others do too.
