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

[Crepitus]

You lefties are so silly. Dangerous too.

​

Let’s take a look at what S.B. 202 actually says:​

​

​

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.

​

The parts in bold are what S.B. 202 added to the statute. The prohibition applies inside polling places, within 150 feet of a polling place, or “within 25 feet of any voter standing in line to vote at any polling place.”​

​

​

Now, first of all, notice what is not prohibited here. Voters can still bring bottled water or other food or beverages with them to stand on line to vote, as people often do when waiting at Disney World or to buy concert tickets or in other public places where people stand on long lines. Voters can still also, if they like, order food; the bill doesn’t stop the Domino’s Pizza man or the local hot dog cart or taco truck from doing business. And if you feel impelled to donate food and drink to voters, you can still do that, too; you just have to give it to the poll workers so they can put it out for general use. The president’s claim that “You can’t provide water for people about to vote” is just false. What you cannot do under the new Georgia law is deploy people in National Rifle Association t-shirts and MAGA hats to hand out free Koch-brothers-financed, Federalist Society–branded pizza to voters.​

His claim that the law prohibits giving water to voters standing on line is way off base.

Lol, good thing that's not what he said.

 

[flacaltenn]

"(a) 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
(2) Within any polling place; or
(3) Within 25 feet of any voter standing in line to vote at any polling place."

SO? You think they are only offering the goodies out of the goodness of their hearts only to those dying of thirst or famine?? It's ELECTIONEERING.. Does not belong near a polling place.. Next thing ya know Cardie B will be there to twerk for the crowds and simulate lez sex in a "VOTE BLUE" leotard while telling everyone HOW to vote...

You are beyond Retarded! Poll workers can't keep up with the masses trying to vote inside causing 5 - 8 hour lines outside! There is no way in hell they have time to hand out pizza & water to thousands standing in line outside!!!!

This is why Republicans can't govern, they keep creating red tape to strip rights from free US citizens!!!

It aint the Bataan Death March poco.,. If the government has to hydrate/feed you to vote, next you'll be asking UnK Sam for a happy ending massage when you're triggered.. OR MAYBE it'll be mandatory if the Biden Admin gets around to that...

You Retards keep crawling out of the sewer. I said government poll workers don't have time to feed & water masses waiting in line. That is why friends, family, community groups, campaigns & delivery services should be allowed to. Republicans find any means necessary to strip voting rights & punish city voters.

Have mercy. Are you seriously suggesting that people can't stand in line for an hour or so without requiring food and drink? Have we really become so soft and weak?

Democrats are telling us that we can't travel or go to a movie without a COVID card......but we can let anyone vote without checking their I.D.

Do they really think we're as stupid as their dead voters are?

This new meme needs to go the Senators in your state that are trying to stop HR1 -- the federalizing of all election laws. And the rest of the members here ought to "repost" to THEIR Senators and everywhere else that they can.. It's the height of hypocrisy when I didn't think politics could become more phony and hypocritical...

HR-1 will be ruled unconstitutional.....if the SCOTUS is honest.

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

Democrats believe making buying votes illegal is wrong.

Biden said it was “SICK, SICK” to make it illegal to buy votes.

Handing a thirsty man a bottle of water is not buying 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,,

Seriously?

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.

I have no idea...but these laws blew up around the country after a ruling in Ellis v. Meeks,


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:

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].

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.

The poll workers are inside.... The water fountains are inside. How does that help the people in the mile long line?

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?

I suppose anyone bringing a bottle of water and a power bar would solve every problem.
But then democrats would have no cause to work the lines handing out free goods to people likely to vote their way.

They are not there to tell them who to vote for, they already know who they likely are voting for.... They are handing out water, so the voters continue to stay another 3 hours in line, without passing out from heat stroke, or giving up and leaving because they can't take the heat and wait.

The whole Purpose of the long lines in Democratic voting places and smooth sailing in Republican districts...

To get the Democratic voter to just leave after a few hours of waiting, and to discourage other voters from voting due to the long lines.

you don't know your Republican party leaders/cheaters very well....

hEaT sTrOkE!!

Historical average temps the first week in November in Atlanta: 67 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit.

And, hey, you know who runs elections in Democrat districts?

Democrats.

You're angry at the wrong people.

I was wrong on the weather! Heat stroke in November is not likely as you correctly pointed out, but that was not the case in the summer primary Georgia had.... Where they had the 5 hour line wait....

The problem is the State of Georgia has cut voting precincts by 10% after the supreme court eliminated a civil rights voting act law that protected blacks from discrimination in Georgia....

while the active registered voters have increased by 40%....And the increased voters are primarily black and from the cities who have the very long lines....get a 10% cut in voting places.

this link is very informative, if you really want to know or care about what Georgia's Republican legislature and the Secretary of State, then Kent, did to disenfranchise the black voter....read it.

Why Do Nonwhite Georgia Voters Have To Wait In Line For Hours? Too Few Polling Places

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?

I suppose anyone bringing a bottle of water and a power bar would solve every problem.
But then democrats would have no cause to work the lines handing out free goods to people likely to vote their way.

They are not there to tell them who to vote for, they already know who they likely are voting for.... They are handing out water, so the voters continue to stay another 3 hours in line, without passing out from heat stroke, or giving up and leaving because they can't take the heat and wait.

The whole Purpose of the long lines in Democratic voting places and smooth sailing in Republican districts...

To get the Democratic voter to just leave after a few hours of waiting, and to discourage other voters from voting due to the long lines.

you don't know your Republican party leaders/cheaters very well....

I was wrong on the weather! Heat stroke in November is not likely as you correctly pointed out, but that was not the case in the summer primary Georgia had.... Where they had the 5 hour line wait....

The problem is the State of Georgia has cut voting precincts by 10% after the supreme court eliminated a civil rights voting act law that protected blacks from discrimination in Georgia....

while the active registered voters have increased by 40%....And the increased voters are primarily black and from the cities who have the very long lines....get a 10% cut in voting places.

Why Do Nonwhite Georgia Voters Have To Wait In Line For Hours? Too Few Polling Places

The state's voter rolls have grown by nearly 2 million since the U.S. Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act in 2013, but polling locations have been cut by almost 10%.

Are you saying White people don't have to stand in line to vote? That they walk to the front of the line? RME

Please,
read the article I linked to, on average the white voter only waits 8 minutes.

Sorry, I say the whole thing is much ado about nothing. I read your article and just did a simple search and this is what I found. Voting During Covid Vote Early in Person Not only are there multiple voting days to vote in person, an absentee ballot is available to anyone. Any suggestion of disenfranchisement is disingenuous at best.

If all those things were in play, including increased absentee voting also early voting, and precincts still had hours of a wait in line to vote in non white neighborhoods,

then that only shows, it's worse than I thought.... What would it have been like without all the absentee voters, if they showed up in person?

I believe that if a person wanted to vote, there were more than ample opportunities for anyone to vote. It is not the government's job to go door to door to ask how you would like to vote--although that is what absentee voting is. Again, noise.

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

Democrats believe making buying votes illegal is wrong.

Biden said it was “SICK, SICK” to make it illegal to buy votes.

Handing a thirsty man a bottle of water is not buying 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,,

Seriously?

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.

I have no idea...but these laws blew up around the country after a ruling in Ellis v. Meeks,


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:

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].

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.

I'm cynical enough and dismayed with Georgia republicans....

[toobfreak]

Republicans did NOT make it illegal to give out water to voters in line in GA.

. . . And like you thought we actually believed progressives were being factual and honest even one time?

 

[flacaltenn]

You lefties are so silly. Dangerous too.

​

Let’s take a look at what S.B. 202 actually says:​

​

​

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.

​

The parts in bold are what S.B. 202 added to the statute. The prohibition applies inside polling places, within 150 feet of a polling place, or “within 25 feet of any voter standing in line to vote at any polling place.”​

​

​

Now, first of all, notice what is not prohibited here. Voters can still bring bottled water or other food or beverages with them to stand on line to vote, as people often do when waiting at Disney World or to buy concert tickets or in other public places where people stand on long lines. Voters can still also, if they like, order food; the bill doesn’t stop the Domino’s Pizza man or the local hot dog cart or taco truck from doing business. And if you feel impelled to donate food and drink to voters, you can still do that, too; you just have to give it to the poll workers so they can put it out for general use. The president’s claim that “You can’t provide water for people about to vote” is just false. What you cannot do under the new Georgia law is deploy people in National Rifle Association t-shirts and MAGA hats to hand out free Koch-brothers-financed, Federalist Society–branded pizza to voters.​

Joe Biden Botches the Georgia Voting Law | National Review

His claim that the law prohibits giving water to voters standing on line is way off base.

www.nationalreview.com

You are beyond Retarded! Poll workers can't keep up with the masses trying to vote inside causing 5 - 8 hour lines outside! There is no way in hell they have time to hand out pizza & water to thousands standing in line outside!!!!

This is why Republicans can't govern, they keep creating red tape to strip rights from free US citizens!!!

It aint the Bataan Death March poco.,. If the government has to hydrate/feed you to vote, next you'll be asking UnK Sam for a happy ending massage when you're triggered.. OR MAYBE it'll be mandatory if the Biden Admin gets around to that...

You Retards keep crawling out of the sewer. I said government poll workers don't have time to feed & water masses waiting in line. That is why friends, family, community groups, campaigns & delivery services should be allowed to. Republicans find any means necessary to strip voting rights & punish city voters.

Have mercy. Are you seriously suggesting that people can't stand in line for an hour or so without requiring food and drink? Have we really become so soft and weak?

Democrats are telling us that we can't travel or go to a movie without a COVID card......but we can let anyone vote without checking their I.D.

Do they really think we're as stupid as their dead voters are?

This new meme needs to go the Senators in your state that are trying to stop HR1 -- the federalizing of all election laws. And the rest of the members here ought to "repost" to THEIR Senators and everywhere else that they can.. It's the height of hypocrisy when I didn't think politics could become more phony and hypocritical...

HR-1 will be ruled unconstitutional.....if the SCOTUS is honest.

Hopefully most of it will.. OTH -- the court could pick and choose parts of it and turn into Legislative review rather Constitutional review..

The thread premise is a lie.

“Facebook posts state that the Georgia House passed a bill that "makes it a misdemeanor to give food or water to voters waiting in line."

HB 531, which passed the House March 1, bans giving food and drinks to electors within 150 feet of a building where people are voting, within any polling place or within 25 feet of any voter standing in line. A violation is considered a misdemeanor.

We rate this claim True.”

Why are Republicans such pricks about voting?

They limit dates, limit times, shut down polling places, stop mail in voting, tried to stop black congregations from voting on Sundays

Now, you can’t even get a drink of water

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.

I have no idea...but these laws blew up around the country after a ruling in Ellis v. Meeks,


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:

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].

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.

The poll workers are inside.... The water fountains are inside. How does that help the people in the mile long line?

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?

I suppose anyone bringing a bottle of water and a power bar would solve every problem.
But then democrats would have no cause to work the lines handing out free goods to people likely to vote their way.

They are not there to tell them who to vote for, they already know who they likely are voting for.... They are handing out water, so the voters continue to stay another 3 hours in line, without passing out from heat stroke, or giving up and leaving because they can't take the heat and wait.

The whole Purpose of the long lines in Democratic voting places and smooth sailing in Republican districts...

To get the Democratic voter to just leave after a few hours of waiting, and to discourage other voters from voting due to the long lines.

you don't know your Republican party leaders/cheaters very well....

hEaT sTrOkE!!

Historical average temps the first week in November in Atlanta: 67 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit.

And, hey, you know who runs elections in Democrat districts?

Democrats.

You're angry at the wrong people.

I was wrong on the weather! Heat stroke in November is not likely as you correctly pointed out, but that was not the case in the summer primary Georgia had.... Where they had the 5 hour line wait....

The problem is the State of Georgia has cut voting precincts by 10% after the supreme court eliminated a civil rights voting act law that protected blacks from discrimination in Georgia....

while the active registered voters have increased by 40%....And the increased voters are primarily black and from the cities who have the very long lines....get a 10% cut in voting places.

this link is very informative, if you really want to know or care about what Georgia's Republican legislature and the Secretary of State, then Kent, did to disenfranchise the black voter....read it.

Why Do Nonwhite Georgia Voters Have To Wait In Line For Hours? Too Few Polling Places

The state's voter rolls have grown by nearly 2 million since the U.S. Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act in 2013, but polling locations have been cut by almost 10%.

Are you saying White people don't have to stand in line to vote? That they walk to the front of the line? RME

You realize that neighborhoods (and thus precincts) are largely segregated? And guess what? The GOP has been removing polling places in black precincts for years. That (intentionally) creates longer lines.

Are you RWNJs pretending ignorance or is it real?

The localities control elections in most parts of the country, This GA law actually does more to fix the problem of long lines in GA, but allowing the state to get involved sooner to add more polling stations and voting machines to fix the problem

and the most segrated places in the country are liberal run cities like Chicago, and Boston
