Colorado does require voter ID. But they do let people give you water while you're waiting in line, so they're cool.
Colorado also mails every single registered voter a mail-in ballot. 99% of the state votes by mail.

If Georgia decided to do this this thread prob wouldn't exist

That would be incorrect. Colorado law establishes a 100 foot perimeter around polling places and drop boxes where political activist are prohibited. Essentially the same thing the new law in Georgia establishes.

Georgia's law does not prohibit poll workers or your friend from bringing you water. It prohibits political operatives from giving anything of value or enticement including food and such to people in line.

No honest person on the left here can claim they wouldn't have been triggered if the Trump campaign had gone out to every polling place in Georgia and handed these water bottles out to the people waiting in line to vote. That is exactly what the provision in the law that you kooks are being dishonest about addresses.

"Page 73: No person shall solicit votes in any manner or by any means or method, nor shall any person 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 an elector, nor shall any person solicit signatures for any petition, nor shall any person, other than election officials discharging their duties, establish or set up any tables or booths on any day in which ballots are being cast: (1) Within 150 feet of the outer edge of any building within which a polling place is established; (2) Within any polling place; or (3) Within 25 feet of any voter standing in line to vote at any polling place. These restrictions shall not apply to conduct occurring in private offices or areas which cannot be seen or heard by such electors.

This Code section shall not be construed to prohibit a poll officer from distributing materials, as required by law, which are necessary for the purpose of instructing electors or from distributing materials prepared by the Secretary of State which are designed solely for the purpose of encouraging voter participation in the election being conducted or from making available self-service water from an unattended receptacle to an elector waiting in line to vote."

What good does the water do if looking at the bottle makes you puke it right back up?

Why not just hand out regular water bottles?


BTW, do the Trump ones require two hands to drink with?
The staff of the polling place is free to supply water to people in line. Your local Democrat or Republican club are not free to hand out stuff to people in line. That's just common sense if you ask me but you dumbocrats are stuck trying to make up bullshit reasons to oppose this law and avoid admitting the lies that have been told. Tell me more about Jim Crow On Steroids.
