Interesting Laws

I just spent the last two days training a client in Indianapolis, Indiana - home of big trucks with the number "3" on them (kind of reminded me of Louisiana). When I was purchasing a soft drink at the front desk of the hotel, I noticed a sign giving the laws for selling alcohol (since they sell alcohol at the front desk of the hotel).

There was something I found very interesting - you are not allowed to sell alcohol in Indiana on election day.

Now, if you didn't sell alcohol on election day in Louisiana, probably no one would turn out to vote if for no other reason than protesting the lack of beer availability.

So it begs the question - what is the intent behind the law?

Don't even remind me that we're talking about politicians and none of them have the sense God gave a goose - we all know that already. But really?

Is it because we don't want to offend the high moral character of those running for office by selling a mind-altering substance on their big day?

Nah, that can't be it.

Is it because lawmakers truly believe people make a different/better/more rational decision about voting when they're sober?

Surely not.

So, any ideas?????????
