Democracy in Action... Sunday sales...

 

Douglas County voters said "no" to the sale of alcoholic drinks on Sundays.

The referendum was defeated by a margin of 1,670 "no" votes to 921 "yes" votes. There are 69,026 registered voters in Douglas County, according to Georgia Secretary of State's office, but only about 4 percent voted Tuesday.

Tuesday's special election would have affected restaurants and bars in unincorporated Douglas County. Douglasville has an ordinance allowing Sunday sales.

4% of the voters...   I wonder how many voting age citizens there are in the district?
