      Unfortunately @baseballcrank misreads the GA statute. The prohibition on giving food and water isn’t limited to those who are trying to influence voters. Nor is it limited to candidates and their staff. And so all of the other state laws he identifies are inapposite.

      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.

      What's misleading about it? He's correct, other states have similar laws. Maybe Georgia's intent was racist but then this section of the law in every other state is racist too.

      The same law in other states is ridiculous, but not automatically racist. Whether it is racist or not would depend on whether voting line length correlates with race.https://n.pr/3w57176

      1. I don't think the law is ridiculous at all. We shouldn't have people from parties and candidates giving free stuff to voters at polling places. That's what it prevents. 2. It's not racist in any place. It applies equally to anyone. GA intent might have been bad but this isn't

      3. Beware the soft bigotry of low expectations, that people of color won't vote unless they are handed free food and drink while waiting to do so.

      I was talking purpose of the law.

      Which is circular: ignore what the law does, and focus on its purpose, which you infer from...what the law does.

          No. Both it’s purpose and effect is to make it harder for people of color to vote. Whether it will have that effect in practice is unclear. But your essay suggests something else is at work. You’re wrong.

          Why does a law that applies equally to everyone make it more difficult for people of color to vote? As I said, beware the bigotry of low expectations, that people of color won't vote unless they get a meal with it.
