evidence: Those days could be numbered for WCK and other humanitarian groups. Among the provisions in Georgia’s new elections law is one that prohibits "any person" — not just politicians, campaign volunteers or political nonprofits that might try to influence votes — from passing out food or drink to residents awaiting their turn to vote. The law states that those who want to provide refreshments on election days cannot be within 150 feet of a polling place or within 25 feet "of any voter standing in line." According to PolitiFact, violations of the law "are punishable by up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine." Not long after Republican Gov. Brian Kemp signed the elections bill in March, President Biden issued a statement, saying that the new law "makes it a crime to provide water to voters while they wait in line — lines Republican officials themselves have created by reducing the number of polling sites across the state, disproportionately in Black neighborhoods." [...] Schaffer said the new law allows groups to donate water to a poll manager, who can then distribute it to voters. "Groups that feel they need credit for providing refreshments to people can still do so as long as they are 150 feet away from any building hosting a polling location and 25 feet away from a voting line, and as long as they are providing refreshments to everybody without regard to whether they are voting or not," Schaffer said in a statement to The Washington Post.
