One Dry County Remains In North Carolina, But That Could Change
I honestly had no idea that there was a dry county left in North Carolina but there is. Graham County, which is located on the North Carolina and Tennessee border, voted to outlaw alcohol in 1948 and the law has remained in place all these years. But back in the summer of 2020, a 2-1 vote agreed to put the issue on the ballot, and the time for that referendum has come. The town of Robbinsville, in Graham County, will vote tomorrow on election day whether or not to sell beer and wine in the town. A passing vote would make Robbinsville the only town in the County to sell alcohol, but the county would officially no longer be dry.
The town is divided on the issue opposers stating tradition while those in favor like the business opportunities it will bring. This will be the first public vote on the issue since the ban was first enacted. Will they make history tomorrow and get rid of the last dry county in North Carolina? Or will tradition prevail? We will have to wait and see. In a local election year issues like this also become to forefront driving citizens to the polls. I expect Graham County to have a higher percentage of residents voting than in other areas of the state
