The percentage of the voting public that actually gives a shit about this issue is vanishingly small. No politician is going to make it a significant policy position to garner votes.
When there are serious economic interests involved, like casinos, the politicians will actually make specific exceptions because $$$, but generally speaking, nowhere close to enough people really care about whether bars have to close at 2:00am or 4:00am or whenever. It just doesn't affect that many people in the grand scheme of things.

But if I'm in a nightclub at 2:30 a.m. in Baltimore or Cleveland or Philadelphia or Atlanta I cannot buy a drink? That's messed up.
