We shouldn't make laws based on "What if"s.

There's no defending this. Just stop.

What are you talking about?  Law is based on what if.

Law is based on precedent.

Soliciting votes at polling places is illegal, and it should remain so. The water isn't the main problem, though.

Their law isn’t banning water or food while waiting in line. The Dems have been intentionally misleading their voters about this law

What if the water bottle says Vote for Trump? Will you twats be ok with that too?

This law is purposely designed to create long lines in urban areas.  The banning of food/water is just another thing they added to discourage people from staying in line.

"What, they're not providing water? Screw it, I'm not voting."

They are banning food and water?

[mtangelsfan]

I will answer my own question, no they are not.

[tdawg87]

Oh, you forgot to bring water on your rush to vote for the President of the United States? Well, that's too bad. The people bringing you water want to influence your vote. 

This is legitimately one of the most disturbing conversations I've had here. You guys legitimately think it's a bad idea for people to hand out water to people standing in line to vote. Maybe take a good look at yourselves.

People in line to vote 6 to 10 hours in Atlanta. Yeah, they get hungry/thirsty in that time.

They should have obviously prepared for it by bringing their own food and water.

There are more votes than just for President of the United States.  There are a multitude of local elections, which are passed by very small margins.  Heck, a congressional race in Iowa was determined by 6 votes.  

So yes, handing out free shit at the ballots could affect voting.

You got proof of that?

[tdawg87]

Not surprised the cons here are defending that absurd law. Can't criticize anything your party does.

So you don't think people will vote for someone that gives them free shit?  If you need proof of that, then you are truly stupid.

Again, they are not being told who to vote for.  The people handing out water can't tell them it's being provided by a political party. 

[tdawg87]

Imagine being a human being and supporting this.

You people are disgusting. I hope you get stuck in line with your kids for 6 hours with no water. Or your sick wife.

If you believe that, then I'm sure you believe that instant replay will only be used for home runs.  

Again, doesn't even need to be a political party.  Just have to have a firetruck in front giving out free water.  Just so happens a raise for firemen is on the ballot.  Or hey free rides to your voting location.  Just so happens a proposition that affects rideshares is on the ballot.  They could even get around it by saying this water provided by party councilman so and so.  He isn't running this year so it's allowed.  But the party will be on there to get around parties not being able to do that.  And you know that judicial voting that no one knows who they are, well, I see this party on his name and they were nice to me, so I'll vote for him.  All it takes is a few changed votes to affect some of these elections.

If you forgot to bring water then hit the 7-11 a block away. It's not like you had an appointed time. You are being stubbornly obtuse.
