    Right, they could allow one hour for voting and you’d say the same thing

    Indeed, whatever the law, I'll bend over backward not to beak it. Is what a responsible citizen does.

    SNIP
    The law reads: “No person shall solicit votes in any manner or by any means or method...or participate in the giving of any money or gifts, including, but not limited to, food and drink, to an elector.”
    ENDSNIP

    https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/v...olls/507-88b0a0d2-0230-429e-becc-30d37565bcc9

    You know how to beat this incredibly easily?? SELL water and snacks for 1 penny a person.... Therefore you aren't giving anybody anything...

    Regardless, this will NEVER be enforced and is just the sort of thing that makes the decent parts of the bill smell... No reason for it whatsoever...

    Nah. Watched my first game of the season yesterday. CWS 12 LAA 8. Abreu hit a slam in the 3rd. Great game. The pitching was better than the score would indicate. My Sox look good. Tonight's game at 6:07. Lynn vs Cobb. Can't wait.

    EXACTLY WHAT? Only two states require time off for federal holidays.

    So you want to make every election day a federal holiday?

    How is requiring third parties wanting to give away free food and drinks to persons in line to vote stay 150' away causing people to die from thirst and hunger?

    It’s not, it’s designed to make it uncomfortable for people who have to wait in long lines to vote. Which in Georgia means black people.

    Think we taught the NBA a lesson. We'll see if the BLM logo is on their ball courts next season. MLB has blown it this year!

    Just thought of something.....MLB is BLM backwards! Coincidence?

    Are you asserting they wait in different lines than white people?
