First of all, the criminal law often criminalizes conduct based only on motive--laws that are enforced by cops on the scene. Happy to share my law review article that chronicles some of those laws with you if you are interested.

Second, I'm not sure why you think the previous law didn't cover giving food and drinks to people to encourage them to vote a different way. It prohibited solicitation in any manner by any means or method. Do you disagree with that reading, because the text seems quite clear.

Why make it a crime to give someone food and water while in line when they know that Georhia has had voting lines that have lasted hours? And where are the long wait times? Come on...you know what this is...

“I planned to come out and wait for 4 hours in line to vote for my candidate, but now that you’ve given me this bottle of water I can totally see the virtue of the other one”

> designed to be enforced evenhandedly by cops on the scene. If you acknowledge “evenhandedness by cops” would be necessary for the law to be fair, then you have conceded the argument kthxbye

"Oh, thanks for the water, I think I'll change who I was going to vote for now". Said nobody, ever. This legislation is designed only to injure.

"is designed to be enforced evenhandedly by cops on the scene." I also have full confidence in the even handed application of this law in a state that has also even handedly applied voter literacy tests, regulated protests, and equally applied the death penalty across race.
