A federal judge on Friday narrowed a section of Georgia election law that banned the practice of handing out food and water to voters waiting in line to cast ballots, as well as halted enforcement of a requirement that voters put their birth dates on the outer envelope of their ballots.
PSA: If you even have the notion of a feeling that a food truck outside the building could decide the person you vote for, please never vote in politics.
But it does whether you think it should. That’s the very reason why all political messaging is forbidden close to voting stations.

Youre fucking sad if you think there aren’t civic minded people that would pass out food and water just to make sure people get a chance to exercise their rights. The fact that you cant conceive of helping people without personal gain is just you telling on yourself. It is not a reflection on the people who support and uphold our democracy by helping people vote.
The “bribery” talking point is clear bullshit anyway. This law is 100% designed to get people in cities, where there are long lines to vote unlike rural areas, to give up on voting, because they tend to vote against the people passing these laws. Its direct and blatant voter suppression. No one is buying the made up issue of “buying votes with water bottles” that is not happening, and has never happened.
Yall aint fooling no one.

Youre ohh so cynical clapback is “the people that support democracy are just doing it to support democracy, so it’s really self interest at play?”
Wow, such insight.
Don’t assign your self-serving attitude to everyone else. Some of us sometimes do things just because they are right/kind/helpful.

It’s cute that you think a dollar bottle of water is a bribe.
