Georgia repeal vote narrows as liquor measures tally
In Georgia the repeal referendum shows a tightening lead for prohibitionists with 81,889 for and 82,119 against after Wednesday's check. Beer and wine votes were separately counted with margins. Dawson County reports 197 for repeal to 82 against, while Glynn and Coffee counties show mixed official results. If carried, the 27 year old prohibition law would be erased, but local option elections would still govern county by county.
