UPDATE: Marion residents have voted to keep their city dry after a special election Tuesday night.
Only 298 votes were cast against legalizing by-the-drink alcohol sales, but that was enough to best the 245 in favor.
Surrounding Crittenden County has been dry since 1936. About 25 percent of Marion's voters showed up to the polls.
