Anyone standing in line long enough to get thristy is doing so only because the system is designed to discourage them. If anyone here defending voter suppression ever had to stand in hours-long lines to vote they would be outraged. Black people are apprently just supposed to take it and be grateful they are allowed to vote at all.
THE LAW!!!
Where does it as Biden lied, prohibit them having water or using water fountains?
His claim that the law prohibits giving water to voters standing on line is way off base.

Let’s take a look at what S.B. 202
actually says
No person shall solicit votes [or] distribute or display any campaign material, nor shall any person give, offer to give, or participate in the giving of any money or gifts, including, but not limited to, food and drink, to [a voter] … This Code section shall not be construed to
prohibit a poll officer…from making available self-service water from an unattended receptacle to [a voter] waiting in line to vote.
The parts in bold are what S.B. 202 added to the statute. The prohibition applies inside polling places, within 150 feet of a polling place, or “within 25 feet of any voter standing in line to vote at any polling place.”
Now, first of all, notice what is not prohibited here.
Voters can still bring bottled water or other food or beverages with them to stand on line to vote, as people often do when waiting at Disney World or to buy concert tickets or in other public places where people stand on long lines. Voters can still also, if they like, order food; the bill doesn’t stop the Domino’s Pizza man or the local hot dog cart or taco truck from doing business. And if you feel impelled to donate food and drink to voters, you can still do that, too; you just have to give it to the poll workers so they can put it out for general use.
The president’s claim that “You can’t provide water for people about to vote” is just false.
