Banks County voters will go to the polls on Tuesday to elect a president.
Republican Mitt Romney, Democrat Barack Obama and Libertarian Gary Johnson are on the ballot, as well as a few state races and an alcohol question.
The special election on alcohol will deal with the Sunday sale of distilled spirits or alcoholic beverages by the drink.
The state races on the ballot include:
•9th Congressional District: Republican Doug Collins and Democrat Jody Cooley.
•Public service commissioner: Republican Chuck Eaton (incumbent); Democrat Stephen Oppenheimer; and Libertarian Brad Ploeger.
•Public service commissioner: Republican Stan Wise (Republican) and Libertarian David Staples.
There are also two proposed constitutional amendments on the ballot. The first question will ask voters to approve public charter schools. The second question will ask whether the state should be allowed to save taxpayer funds through multi-year real estate rental agreements.

Just remember when you vote. More restaurants are not coming to Banks County because of the lack of Sunday Sales. Commerce will have Sunday sales next year. We will only loose more businesses to Commerce again next year if this is not approved. The ability to buy a drink on Sunday doesn't not prevent those who want to drink on Sunday from doing so, they buy it on Saturday. You are only hurting our community by saying no. If you think chicken houses and cattle will support this county you are terribly out of date. Just look at the tax increases this year. Only more tax rate hikes to come if you want this to remain hicks crossing in bumpkin county.

You've said here that people are buying their alcohol on Saturday to get around not being to buy on a drink on Sunday. Based on that logic Sunday sales are therefore unncessary and no change is needed.
