How to pregame for Election Day

In Chicago, it looks like the election judges have to have a little of the tipple in order to handle the voting booths.

On Election Day 2012, “[t]wo judges were removed for showing up drunk, while another was removed for being disruptive.”

Well, it certainly begins to explain some of those Chicago election returns.

I just want to know what the best pregame booze is for Election Day.

Would it be beer because America?

Or whiskey, because it’s what our Founding Fathers would’ve done?
