I grew up in Southeastern Kentucky until I was about 10, in Pulaski county. It was a dry county at the time. I remember my mom's friends going on road trips for booze, and later on my mom told me that some people would vote for it to stay a dry county because they liked these road trips. I'm sure there were also people making money bringing in quantities and selling it under the table.
I also have a memory of a lake cop pulling over our boat on Lake Cumberland (huge tourist lake there) and making a quip about how much he hates finding weed on that lake... because it was always such bad weed. I remember it because of everyone laughing.
So yeah, don't believe that swath of green across Kentucky, Tennessee, and West Virginia. Ask anyone else who has ever lived there. It's at least as yellow as Ohio and the other surrounding areas, probably with some patches of red.
Also check out Oklahoma. You're telling me the exact outline of Oklahoma is green but not the surrounding states?
I could say the same about San Diego. Only 20% yeah right it’s got to be closer to 50%.
Except we’re both just offering anecdotes. Excessive drinkers are more conspicuous to begin with, and nobody is telling stories about the overwhelming majority of people who don’t drink excessively like “and then my mom didn’t drink again.” (Unless of course she’s a recovering alcoholic).

Wisconsin though is 100% accurate.
