its not about the water,, its about who is providing it,,But this isn't about free beer with a candidates name on it is it?Wonder how she would feel if I gave away with a free beer with my candidates name on it. At the poll places.Please link to a photo of a voting line that is 100 yards long let alone a mile. Your stupid exaggerations don't help with your grasping at straws. The laws are not disenfranchisement and you are disingenuous to suggest that they are. All they do is ensure that undue influence is not present at the polls. The laws were also put in place to ensure that people of color are not made to feel threatened if white supremacists patrolled the polls. Use a little common sense and not just a bunch of knee jerk reaction with no justification.The poll workers are inside.... The water fountains are inside. How does that help the people in the mile long line?I have no idea...but these laws blew up around the country after a ruling in Ellis v. Meeks,Seriously?Handing a thirsty man a bottle of water is not buying votesDemocrats believe making buying votes illegal is wrong.Poll workers and other people in line can give out water.
ONLY CAMPAIGN WORKERS CANNOT GIVE OUT ANYTHING OF VALUE, LEST IT BE CONSIDERED A BRIBE.
Not to mention, Campaign workers must stay like 150 feet away from the poll.
Sooooo.....Biden fucking lied at his “presser” as is every single leftist who said GEORGIA MADE IT ILLEGAL TO GIVE PEOPLE WATER!
Fuck you leftist liars
Biden said it was “SICK, SICK” to make it illegal to buy votes.![]()
how would you know??
if a trump supporter is going up and down a long line and handing our anything of value it could lead to a person voting in their favor,,
You think a determined to vote Democrat standing in line for 5 HOURS to cast their gosh darn vote, is going to change their vote to some Republican candidate because a kind republican person gave them water or food????
Nope!
The whole purpose by republicans to not give them water or food is so that the voters in these very long lined Democratic district voting precincts will give up and go home... And people coming to vote see the long line and just pass on voting...
dear Lord y'all are messed up people...
You should be FURIOUS that lawmakers etc, MADE THE CITIZENS STAND IN LINE FOR 5 HOURS just to cast their vote, while pearly white voting precincts have a 30 minute wait at most, to cast their votes...?
WHY IS IT TAKING 5 to 9 HOURS IN LINE TO VOTE in Democratic districts?.....
That's the fraud.... Through disenfranchisement.
In 1998, the Supreme Court of Kentucky, in Ellis v. Meeks, threw out the results of a primary election where the winner, Meeks (who prevailed by eight votes) had handed out free food at the polling place, and made it available to voters. The court rejected the argument that this was all harmless because there was no direct evidence that he had changed any votes or had demanded any explicit quid pro quo from voters:
If you are really concerned about the GA citizens in line getting water, then you are free to donate it....give it to the poll workers, and they will make it available to the folks to get.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].
That case, was the candidate himself, no?
Candidates should not be allowed to do what that candidate did....
They are not allowed to campaign at a polling place....nor should the people offering water or food in hours waiting voter lines..... Keep them from campaigning but not giving out water....
Better yet, there should be no situation, where it takes more than one hour in line, to vote..... Where is that legislation forcing state precincts to be fair and equal for all citizens in all voting districts?
No. It's about friggin water in the hot sun...
do try and keep up,,
