      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 would be interesting to know what the history is here: Are people who distribute food and drink to voters waiting in line typically partisans?

      Plenty of folks just share snacks and water when they get stuck in a long line. That's now a crime under this poorly conceived and written law that Dan insists on misleading people about.https://twitter.com/CBHessick/status/1318337564575698947?s=20 …

      The people in line shared snacks and water. One guy is even had folks hold his spot so that he could go pick up pizzas for the group. That’s a nice show of community solidarity. But it shouldn’t be necessary so that citizens can cast a vote.

      This lawsuit suggests that churches that engage in "line warming" are engaging in 1st Amendment-protected political speech. (But it also says that plaintiffs "are not bribing voters and they are not electioneering.") https://www.splcenter.org/sites/default/files/sixth_district_of_the_ame_church_v._brian_kemp.pdf …

      "This is political speech to voters on Election Day at the polling place" is...hard to square with "this is not electioneering." Especially at a time when Congressional Democrats are trying to reclassify all speech on political issues as campaign spending.

          I think the argument is that exhorting people to vote is political speech even if it isn't endorsing a candidate. (And churches might run afoul of the Johnson Amendment if they did the latter, right?)

          Also from the lawsuit: "Through providing water and other resources, Plaintiff AME Church and others throughout Georgia engage in 'the type of interactive communication concerning political change that is appropriately described as ‘core political speech. ’”
