On giving stuff to people in line, etc. Joe Biden Botches the Georgia Voting Lawhttps://www.nationalreview.com/2021/03/joe-biden-botches-the-georgia-voting-law/ …

Perhaps the legislative intent behind the new legislation was benign. But that doesn’t change what the actual text says. It makes it a crime to give the person behind you in line to vote an extra bottle of water as you wait. The unqualified actus reus is written that broadly.
-
What’s worse, is if he’d checked the law as it existed in GA before this bill passed, he’d have seen that trying to influence people’s votes while in line was already forbidden and criminalized under state law.

It's the National Review they spew propaganda, not legitimate legal analysis.

It's a solid legal analysis.
@CBHessick is incorrect in stating other states' laws have a requirement of intent to influence voters. Most do not. - Show replies

It is a wildly misleading article in that it pretends the motivation for this law was something other than partisan politics. That suggestion is absurd.

All the other state laws are inapposite? Based on what? Where do you read this intent to influence into the laws he cited? Specifically the NY one?
-
For one, the fact that they're being used to justify a claim that isn't even accurate about the Georgia law. The other states cited also limit their restrictions to the polling places - or near the entrances (100' is only about 5 car lengths).
