Why more and more people distrust Biden and the BIASED MSM..."GA bans volunteers from delivering water, etc. BIG ASS LIE!

[struth]

Poll workers jobs are to ensure the voters get to vote and laws are followed. IE, make sure Dems are electioneering. It's hardly a undo burden to set a extra table up to place food or drink on..

And if poll workers just don't Feel like doing that?
No water allowed

No the Board does...the Sec of State still very much has a role. Obviously you didn't read the link. There was always a board of elections, and appointed the same way...the only difference is the SoS is not a voting member...taking politics further out of it.

Taking the Sec of State out of it...and making decisions opaque and more partisan than ever

Nope you can still bring your own water, and take handouts from 150 feet before you come.

You are there to vote, not have dinner bro.
et within
2poltical process...this makes it less political...and actually more like our Federal Eleet of afe5 ction Commission

No you cannot. The law says you cannot get within 25 feet of a voter standing in line. Why should anyone be barred from giving someone a bottle of water or a snack bro?

only when the person is in line already....if they aren't in line and you are 150 feet from the poling building you are free to hand it out.

If within 150 feet, or they are already in line...you can donate your water or food...just give it to the polling volunteers, they can set it up in a location free to whomever want it. Really not that big a deal...I am sure they'll look forward to your donations.

Why? Because of electioneering...here is what the SCOTUS said, when Minn created the same law (and Xiden, Stacy Abrams, and the dems said nothing about)

The Minn law: No one except an election official or an individual who is waiting to register or to vote or an individual who is conducting exit polling shall stand within 100 feet of the building in which a polling place is located. Minn. Stat. § 204C.06

The SCOTUS in a 7-2 ruling: We see no basis for rejecting Minnesota’s determination that some forms of advocacy should be excluded from the polling place, to set it aside as an island of calm in which voters can peacefully contemplate their choices. . . . Casting a vote is a weighty civic act, akin to a jury’s return of a verdict, or a representative’s vote on a piece of legislation. It is a time for choosing, not campaigning. The State may reasonably decide that the interior of the polling place should reflect that distinction. Minn. Voters Alliance v. Mansky

That's why...seems pretty reasonable to give people a 150 feet to be left alone

Only 3 states have laws banning the distribution of food and water. Montana which bans candidates their family and campaign workers. NY which limits the value to $1 or less. Georgia which established a buffer zone around the voter is the only state that has this, Minnesota has no prohibition on handing out water.

That 7-2 SCOTUS rule overturned a Minnesota law banning political apparel at polling places. It had nothing to do with handing out water.

No one except an election official or an individual who is waiting to register or to vote or an individual who is conducting exit polling shall stand within 100 feet of the building in which a polling place is located. Minn. Stat. § 204C.06

Where does Minn Law allow for people to be within 100 feet for handing out water?

Minn. Voters Alliance v. Mansky...which you clearly didn't read...was the Constiutitionality of that law

The law, like the GA law, doesn't prohibit water from being made available.

And they issue is the giver has a political influence on the voter. That is illegal.

There is no evidence of that. In Georgia, bottles of water were handed out to anyone standing in line.

and they still can be made available for anyone standing in line. You are free to donate as much as you want

You can NOT take a hand out if you are in line to vote unless it comes from a poll worker. Period

None...you can't get anything for less then a dollar in NYC.

When that law was written you could get water. And you can STILL fill a jug from your tap and hand out cups of water in NY.

In Georgia even THAT you can not do

Now to give you dummies some common sense understanding.
What person was being described other than the person who solicits votes by handing out water!
The common sense interpretation is if you are soliciting votes YOU can't give out water, food,money,etc.
If you are NOT doing it to solicit votes... NOT a problem.
The minute an idiot like you hands water to someone and YOU are wearing a "Vote for dummy" hat or shirt... you are ejected.
Simple as that but dummies like you don't have any common sense!

apparently the Poster is so lazy he can't walk over to a table and pour himself a water...he expects it to be handed to him. I mean really...talk about entitled.

Why should they have to? Why should someone be prevented from giving someone else water? Just take your shit and shove it up your ass.

I addressed the reasoning before, and will do again for you...but I really can't say it better then the SCOTUS: " We see no basis for rejecting Minnesota’s determination that some forms of advocacy should be excluded from the polling place, to set it aside as an island of calm in which voters can peacefully contemplate their choices. . . .

The real question here is why do you think GA should be treated differently then other states with the same or similar laws on this issue?

but moreover...why should they have to? They don't. Why should anyone think when they come to vote they are entitled to a free drink? When I need a drink, I got to the store, or a bar...I don't go to a polling station expecting breakfast, drink, or snacks...I go there to vote.

Only 2 other states have laws regarding water. Montana bans candidates, their families and campaign workers from handibng out food and drinkj. That makes sense. NY limits the value to $1 or less which makes some sense. No one has a law like Georgia which establishes a buffer around the individual. The Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that Minnesota's ban on wearing political shirts was overly broad. They did not say anything about handing out water. I suswpect there are very few people standing in line trying to figure out who you are going to vote for.

Sure, Minn might have ruled that way in a different case. Not the one I cited.

Because you can't be trusted not to electioneer while doing it, "bro".

If you want to give voters in line some water, you're always welcome to donate bottled water for the poll workers to distribute. Why should you want to do it any other way?

By the way, the law you didn't read before running out to scream about how awful it is based on how awful your masters told you to believe it was? It also has sections intended to keep the line from ever being more than 150 feet long. So that 150-feet-from-the-poll line, where you can electioneer all you want, is still valid.

Yes you can bro. You are in a public place so it is pretty easy to determine if someone is using free water for electioneering.

There is no reason why you should not be able to hand a bottle of water directly to voters standing in line. Your attempt to justify this is pathetic and weak.

How is that going to happen? Are election officials going to wave their magic wand and more polling machines are going to appear?
If the lines are less than 150 feet then there should be no reason to worry about handing out water. Logic is not on your side.

Several groups in Georgia handed bottles of water out to voters standing in line. They were not affiliated with any campaign. You know nothing about common sense. Even Lindsay Graham admits it makes no sense.

Doesn't matter if they were known to be affiliated with a specific campaign. The problem is that no one can know for sure that they aren't part of some other politically active group, or even that they're just talking up their own personal political hobby horse. Newsflash, shitforbrains: the law prohibits ANYONE from electioneering at the polls, not just official campaigns.

Exactly what is this vested interest you appear to have in allowing people to go talk to total strangers in line to vote? You seem REALLY offended and outraged that you can't do something no one without an agenda would WANT to do.

I am offended and outraged at ho2w blartant the attempt to prevent people from voting is. There is nothing wrong with people talking to each other. When i stood in line I talked to total strangers.

You are a kook. You don't know. That person might be a SPECTRE agent. Maybe they are a Russian spy. You are a fool with nonsensical arguments.

 

[busybee01]

1) sorry I should have said before you were in line. The polls can simply put them on a table, and you are free to walk up and grab one. It's really not that big a deal..

When you are in a two hour line to vote you can't even SEE the polling place where the water. And gee wouldn't it be great to have fights about who lost his place in line right?
WHY AGAIN ARE WE DOING THIS? Has there been a rash of electioneering issues? No? It's just one more stupid way to make voting hard in Dem Districts

2) this law goes a long way to address the long lines..

By shutting down polling places at 5:00 in the afternoon on working days?

NY hasn't change it has it??

Because it's stupid to change laws that are evident. It was clearly put in place BECAUSE water was excepted. There is no other reason for that exception.

And again..you can give out tapwater if you want to strictly follow that NY law.
You can NOT do so in Georgia

thankfully the law will make it so you don't have to wait that long....but if you are that concerned bring your own water with you. Why would you go to a voting place expecting them to give you food and drink? It's not McDonalds.

No there hasn't...because there have been laws against it for quite some time. Yes, there was an issue with if water and food were included in the ban.

So, it's stupid? But I thought making sure people got free water while in line was a big issue for you?

You are a idiot as usual. Why should there be a ban on giving someone water? There was no law against it in the past.

Because people were using it to break the law that DID exist.

Seriously, needing to be told something 2135 times really makes you look either stupid, or determined not to know the truth, or both.

There is exactly no evidence of that. Another Trumpian lie. Trump supporters who lie 2135 times shows you are the fool who can't read or a liar.

No, read the law bro. Can't happen. NO ONE

Kentucky has a similar law as well. It's law was challenged in 1998....the Kentucky Supreme Court heard the case and upheld it...Ellias v Meeks. Meeks, was handing out free food and water

" At ten of the fifteen voting stations in the 11th Ward, Meeks made free food available to anyone present, glad-handed voters as they entered, and spoke with voters as they signed in to vote. Based upon this evidence, we… hold that Meeks’ non-verbal conduct solicited votes and amounted to electioneering within 500 feet of a building where votes were being cast…We can conceive of no other explanation for his actions…. We find that making free food available to precinct workers and voters was an item of value offered by Meeks in exchange for their votes or moral support in violation of [Kentucky law]. "

Biden's home state does the same: Whoever…pays, transfers or delivers, or offers…any money, or other valuable thing as a compensation, inducement or reward for the giving or withholding or in any manner influencing the giving or withholding a vote…shall be fined not less than $100 nor more than $5,000 or imprisoned not less than 1 month nor more than 3 years, or both. 15 Del. C. § 3167

 

[busybee01]

A. The GA law DOES criminalize providing water to people in line to vote

B. It DOES curtail voting hours

C. It takes the election out of the hands of the Secretary of State and gives it to the partisan legislature

All those are false.

A) people can still get water...and have it provided for them within 150 Feet.
B) Nope, the opposite...iit extends voting...makes voting early easier...and opens them up for more days "
Changes to early voting
One of the biggest changes in the bill would expand early voting access for most counties, adding an additional mandatory Saturday and formally codifying Sunday voting hours as optional. Counties can have early voting open as long as 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., or 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at minimum"

What Does Georgia's New Voting Law SB 202 Do?

Georgia has a new slate of voting laws after Gov. Brian Kemp signed a 98-page bill Thursday. From absentee restrictions to more flexibility with voting equipment, here's a look at all the changes.

www.gpb.org

C) wrong again...it expands the authority of the State Election Board....one of the key things it does is allows it to step in, in real time when there are long lines, instead of waiting til after the fact, to add polling stations and machines.

It's obvious you haven't read the old law, or the new law. You are spreading already debunked propaganda.

It also cuts drop-off boxes. The number of droip boxes in Fulton County will go from 38 in 2020 to 8.

Prior to the emergency changes for Covid, there was no drop boxes in GA...like a lot of other states, so now...drop boxes are in fact the law...could they add more in the future if needed? Sure...because it's law.....it also makes non-excuse absentee voting, the law...Quid Pro Joe's home state doesn't allow for that.


With that said, it also greatly extends early voting...making the need for absentee ballots less.

There also was no law against drop boxes either. Georgia's law severely limits the number of boxes. In Fulton County, they will drop from 38 to 8. Also the number of hours they are available will be severely limited. The fact is that there was no reason for any election bill to be passed. There was no evidence of fraud. This election bill was strictly about making it harder to vote.

You've already been asked to prove this, and you haven't. You just mysteriously "didn't see" the request, and went right on asserting it as fact.

So until such time as you prove this "severely limits" line you keep spouting, it is just automatically a lie. Dismissed.

The number of hours is NOT severely limited. This is ALSO a lie which you have had explained to you multiple times, which you have ignored in favor of just saying, "No, THIS is true, it is, it is, IT IS!!!" Lie. Dismissed.

The fact is that it's not YOUR place to decide if there was a reason to pass a bill. You aren't the governor of Georgia. You aren't the legislature of Georgia. You aren't a voter in Georgia. You have no fucking clue what actually happened on the ground there. But, like all good leftist tools, you feel like you have a right to demand that other people run their lives according to the talking points your masters have given you.

This election law is about nothing that you have been told to "know". This means that the only virtue you have is consistency, because everything you obediently parrot is ALWAYS completely wrong.

Congratulations on your unbroken string of posts that make you look like a dishonest moron.

Those are facts. The number of drop boxes will be severely constrained and the hours they will be available will be constrained. There is no logical reason for doing it. That is a fact whether you like it or not. Try reading the law.

It is my place to question the rationale for passing a law. Demanding a compelling state interest in a law is called defending freedom. QAppare3ntly you don't care. Kemp has a direct political interest in this as he stands a very good chance of losing to a Democrat in 2022.

The election law is exactly as I have stated. I have bothered to read it unlike you.

You are tghe proven dishonest moron.

Why? Because of electioneering...here is what the SCOTUS said, when Minn created the same law (and Xiden, Stacy Abrams, and the dems said nothing about)

The Minn law: No one except an election official or an individual who is waiting to register or to vote or an individual who is conducting exit polling shall stand within 100 feet of the building in which a polling place is located. Minn. Stat. § 204C.06

The SCOTUS in a 7-2 ruling: We see no basis for rejecting Minnesota’s determination that some forms of advocacy should be excluded from the polling place, to set it aside as an island of calm in which voters can peacefully contemplate their choices. . . . Casting a vote is a weighty civic act, akin to a jury’s return of a verdict, or a representative’s vote on a piece of legislation. It is a time for choosing, not campaigning. The State may reasonably decide that the interior of the polling place should reflect that distinction. Minn. Voters Alliance v. Mansky

That's why...seems pretty reasonable to give people a 150 feet to be left alone

Only 3 states have laws banning the distribution of food and water. Montana which bans candidates their family and campaign workers. NY which limits the value to $1 or less. Georgia which established a buffer zone around the voter is the only state that has this, Minnesota has no prohibition on handing out water.

That 7-2 SCOTUS rule overturned a Minnesota law banning political apparel at polling places. It had nothing to do with handing out water.

Minnesota law does not say anything about handing outr water. Several authors of articles have contacted the election commission of all states and only 2 say they have restrictions on food and water.

Water can be given to NO voter in line to vote

 

[struth]

Poll workers jobs are to ensure the voters get to vote and laws are followed. IE, make sure Dems are electioneering. It's hardly a undo burden to set a extra table up to place food or drink on..

And if poll workers just don't Feel like doing that?
No water allowed

No the Board does...the Sec of State still very much has a role. Obviously you didn't read the link. There was always a board of elections, and appointed the same way...the only difference is the SoS is not a voting member...taking politics further out of it.

Taking the Sec of State out of it...and making decisions opaque and more partisan than ever

Nope you can still bring your own water, and take handouts from 150 feet before you come.

You are there to vote, not have dinner bro.
et within
2poltical process...this makes it less political...and actually more like our Federal Eleet of afe5 ction Commission

No you cannot. The law says you cannot get within 25 feet of a voter standing in line. Why should anyone be barred from giving someone a bottle of water or a snack bro?

only when the person is in line already....if they aren't in line and you are 150 feet from the poling building you are free to hand it out.

If within 150 feet, or they are already in line...you can donate your water or food...just give it to the polling volunteers, they can set it up in a location free to whomever want it. Really not that big a deal...I am sure they'll look forward to your donations.

Why? Because of electioneering...here is what the SCOTUS said, when Minn created the same law (and Xiden, Stacy Abrams, and the dems said nothing about)

The Minn law: No one except an election official or an individual who is waiting to register or to vote or an individual who is conducting exit polling shall stand within 100 feet of the building in which a polling place is located. Minn. Stat. § 204C.06

The SCOTUS in a 7-2 ruling: We see no basis for rejecting Minnesota’s determination that some forms of advocacy should be excluded from the polling place, to set it aside as an island of calm in which voters can peacefully contemplate their choices. . . . Casting a vote is a weighty civic act, akin to a jury’s return of a verdict, or a representative’s vote on a piece of legislation. It is a time for choosing, not campaigning. The State may reasonably decide that the interior of the polling place should reflect that distinction. Minn. Voters Alliance v. Mansky

That's why...seems pretty reasonable to give people a 150 feet to be left alone

Only 3 states have laws banning the distribution of food and water. Montana which bans candidates their family and campaign workers. NY which limits the value to $1 or less. Georgia which established a buffer zone around the voter is the only state that has this, Minnesota has no prohibition on handing out water.

That 7-2 SCOTUS rule overturned a Minnesota law banning political apparel at polling places. It had nothing to do with handing out water.

No one except an election official or an individual who is waiting to register or to vote or an individual who is conducting exit polling shall stand within 100 feet of the building in which a polling place is located. Minn. Stat. § 204C.06

Where does Minn Law allow for people to be within 100 feet for handing out water?

Minn. Voters Alliance v. Mansky...which you clearly didn't read...was the Constiutitionality of that law

The law, like the GA law, doesn't prohibit water from being made available.

Minnesota law does not say anything about handing outr water. Several authors of articles have contacted the election commission of all states and only 2 say they have restrictions on food and water.

IT doesn't need to...I mean NO ONE...but the people listed can come up. The GA law allows those same people to hand out water.

The law doesn't have to spell out food, if it doesn't allow anyone approach people at all.

And they issue is the giver has a political influence on the voter. That is illegal.

There is no evidence of that. In Georgia, bottles of water were handed out to anyone standing in line.

and they still can be made available for anyone standing in line. You are free to donate as much as you want

Why can you not just hand it to someone?

You can....so long they aren't in line, or you are within 150 feet.

Here is what the SCOTUS said in their reasoning for upholding Minn law that forbids people from handing out water and the like...I hope their reasonings helps you: We see no basis for rejecting Minnesota’s determination that some forms of advocacy should be excluded from the polling place, to set it aside as an island of calm in which voters can peacefully contemplate their choices. . . .

A. You are wrong or simply lying. Regardless of how far from the polling place you are the GA law prohibits anyone from supplying water to ANYONE unless you are a poll worker.

B. Your Minn example is on reference to the “interior of the polling place

1) I am not lying about at. That's simply untrue.
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.

So...150 feet from the building...or if they are IN LINE, beyond that..within 25 feet. So as long as you are outside 150 feet...or the people aren't in line waiting...you are free to hand out water.

But you are also free to go ahead and donate the water, so that the poll workers can make it available to folks within 150 or waiting in line.

2) Geez...reading is hard for you: No one except an election official or an individual who is waiting to register or to vote or an individual who is conducting exit polling shall stand within 100 feet of the building in which a polling place is located. Minn. Stat. § 204C.06

But go ahead and make your lies up....the propagandist in chief will be proud his little bots keep the lies going

How the new law limits voting
It shrinks the window for voters to request mail ballots. Rather than allowing voters to request ballots six months from Election Day, the new law says voters can start requesting ballots 78 days out; counties can begin sending ballots to voters just 29 days before Election Day, rather than the previous 49 days. It also sets an earlier cutoff date for ballot application requests.


Critics say any mail delays with these shorter periods could lead to voters not getting ballots on time, or not being able to return them in time. But proponents of the law say voters simply don’t need the 180 days they used to have to request ballots – and that moving up the cutoff date makes it less likely voters will receive ballots too late to get them back in time to be counted.

Counties and the state can send mail ballot applications only to voters who request them (as opposed to simply sending every registered voter a ballot application) and cannot fill in information ahead of time.
New voter ID requirements. Voters who cast mail ballots will have to provide one of several forms of identification. This provision — which replaces a signature match previously used to confirm voters’ identities — is one of the most controversial because critics say it is likely to disproportionately affect Black voters.


Voters don’t have to provide a copy of the identification, but could for example provide a driver’s license number, social security number or other acceptable identification.

A limit on the number of ballot drop boxes during early voting. It essentially limits the number of drop boxes in each county to one per early-voting site, or one for every 100,000 voters in the county, whichever number is smaller. And the drop boxes can’t be conveniently spread over the county, for example, in places where there aren’t in-person early-voting locations; they all have to be located either in a county election office or at an early-voting precinct location. They have to be indoors, which critics say make them less accessible and could lead to crowds where voters are already congregated,
Shortened early voting in runoff elections. Instead of a minimum of three weeks of early voting in runoffs, early voting in runoffs will be held in a single Monday-Friday period.


State lawmakers get much more power over county and local elections (and Republicans have decisive majorities in both the state Senate and the state House). The law states that the General Assembly will select the chair of the state elections board, rather than the board being chaired by the Georgia secretary of state — an elected position. The chair is supposed to be nonpartisan. The state election board can investigate county election boards and has the power to suspend county election superintendents — though the law limits the state board to suspending four at a time.

You might remember Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who became the target of his own party’s ire after President Donald Trump put pressure on him over the results of the 2020 election; this provision seems like a direct reaction to that, ensuring partisan state lawmakers can control the election process more directly.
A ban on handing out food and water within 150 feet of a polling place, or within 25 feet of any voter. Republicans say this is aimed at stopping outside groups from influencing voters; Democrats say it’s supposed to make it harder for people to wait in long lines, particularly on hot or cold days. Election officials are permitted to set up water stations — but they’re not required to do so.

or within 25 feet of any voter

struth is a liar

 

[Cecilie1200]

Nope you can still bring your own water, and take handouts from 150 feet before you come.

You can NOT take a hand out if you are in line to vote unless it comes from a poll worker. Period

You are there to vote, not have dinner bro.

In Georgia...in Dem districts (where the are not enough machines) you are there or HOURS. Why do this? Was there a problem with electioneering? No? They're just trying to make voting harder in Dem Districts? Yea.

None...you can't get anything for less then a dollar in NYC.

When that law was written you could get water. And you can STILL fill a jug from your tap and hand out cups of water in NY.

In Georgia even THAT you can not do

Where in the bill does it say you can not hand out water?
The below is from the bill and
ttps://www.legis.ga.gov/api/legislation/document/20212022/201121 GA election laws

"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.

Georgia law makes it a crime to give food, water to people waiting to vote

One of the most notable parts of the new Georgia voting law signed by Gov. Brian Kemp (R) on Thursday is that it would make it illegal for people to provide food or water to voters as they wait in …

thehill.com

Now to give you dummies some common sense understanding.
What person was being described other than the person who solicits votes by handing out water!
The common sense interpretation is if you are soliciting votes YOU can't give out water, food,money,etc.
If you are NOT doing it to solicit votes... NOT a problem.
The minute an idiot like you hands water to someone and YOU are wearing a "Vote for dummy" hat or shirt... you are ejected.
Simple as that but dummies like you don't have any common sense!

Several groups in Georgia handed bottles of water out to voters standing in line. They were not affiliated with any campaign. You know nothing about common sense. Even Lindsay Graham admits it makes no sense.

Doesn't matter if they were known to be affiliated with a specific campaign. The problem is that no one can know for sure that they aren't part of some other politically active group, or even that they're just talking up their own personal political hobby horse. Newsflash, shitforbrains: the law prohibits ANYONE from electioneering at the polls, not just official campaigns.

Exactly what is this vested interest you appear to have in allowing people to go talk to total strangers in line to vote? You seem REALLY offended and outraged that you can't do something no one without an agenda would WANT to do.

I am offended and outraged at ho2w blartant the attempt to prevent people from voting is. There is nothing wrong with people talking to each other. When i stood in line I talked to total strangers.

You are a kook. You don't know. That person might be a SPECTRE agent. Maybe they are a Russian spy. You are a fool with nonsensical arguments.

No, you aren't. You're playing at outrage because your masters told you to, and you're citing the "reasons" they gave you to cite.

Truth is not on your side.

Water can be given to NO voter in line to vote

It supports the LIE in your post.

Also only if it survives a constitutional challenge and if local prosecutors agree to enforce it.
