evidence: In March 2021, controversy surrounded Senate Bill 202, a bill in Georgia that would bar outside actors from giving food or water directly to voters waiting in line at polling places, but would allow poll workers and election judges to provide self-serve water to voters. We wrote about the law in greater detail previously. [...] In reality, election laws such as S.B. 202 in Georgia, which explicitly prohibits members of the public from providing food and water directly to voters, are very rare. In fact, we found only two other states, Montana and New York, that impose even somewhat similar bans. Title 13, Chapter 35, Section 211(2) of the Montana Code states that: [...] In principle, a member of the public could fall afoul of such laws if, for example, they handed out water bottles with labels promoting a particular candidate, or if they offered food only to voters who intended to vote for that candidate. But in such examples, the provision of food and water would be entirely incidental to the offense of electioneering or bribery. By contrast, Georgia's new law prohibits distributing food and water regardless of whether the electioneering or bribery components are present.
