Louisville precinct votes to go dry

It's hard to believe we're seeing stories like this in 2023, but that's 2023 for ya!

On Tuesday, a precinct in east central Louisville actually voted 61% to 39% to go dry - i.e., to prohibit alcohol sales. This angered the owner of a restaurant in that precinct, and some officials have noted that supporters of the alcohol ban used racist language throughout the campaign. The precinct also has at least one store that sells beer.

Rural Kentucky counties keep voting to go wet after years of being dry, yet a big city like Louisville can't handle a restaurant serving beer to adults. And the racism makes the situation even more un-American.

And don't even ask about how badly the Louisville school system has declined in the past few years. Now it's like Campbell County or that district north of Cincinnati where some right-wing loudmouth keeps ranting about stuff.
