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.
If your standard is "food is offered to anyone in the vicinity--not just line waiters," how is that different from prohibiting giving food specifically to line waiters?

The prohibition to give food to line waiters would prevent giving food to everyone in the vicinity, including those on line. Once again, I think you are being deliberately obtuse and I'm done engaging with you.

Ah, I see, you're arguing that they could evade the prohibition by a cosmetic offering to cover the open purpose of what they're doing. (Which, this being federal law, is not an uncommon way for the rules to be written).
