Okay, so I am assuming you couldn't show up drunk at the voting booth and vote.
So, with Colorado and Utah now passing legalized pot.
Can you go to the booth and vote high?
And yes, I am being a smart as*
Cause, I think legalizing pot is bad in so many ways, and I thought of this scenario.
I really don't know if you could be turned away from voting for being drunk in most states. When I first moved to IL as a newlywed in 1971, the liquor stores were closed on election day. Within a few years that changed. My husband (now ex) said he thought they wanted people to be voting in their usual state of mind!

Unless I am missing something Utah certainly has not legalized pot. Of all states they would be one of the last to do so. Where did you get that information?
Can you show up drunk or on drugs, who is going to give you a sobriety test?
There may be laws in some states that disqualify drunk voters, but if they exist, they're old laws. I don't think any are on the books that disqualify any intoxicant other than liquor, as alcohol is the most used intoxicant of them all, and has always been the most.
There is no disqualification for the totally ignorant, the insane, the mentally challenged, or those who have lost their minds to dementia or Alzhiemer's. In comparison to those voters' numbers, the drunks and the stoners who show up in their usual condition aren't much to worry over.

Way back when, in California and probably other states you couldn't buy a drink on election day until after the polls closed. I think it was a good idea. I have no idea when the law was changed, but I know it was.
With so many voting precincts in schools, I imagine there would be some laws against being drunk on a school campus. Churches or other buildings, probably not.
