evidence: The rulings blocked portions of the bill that ban Georgians from providing food and water to voters waiting in lines more than 150 feet from the polls, and that require voters to unnecessarily include their birthdate on absentee ballot envelopes. [...] The court sided with the plaintiffs in ruling that Georgia’s ban on providing food and water to voters waiting in lines farther than 150 feet from the polls likely violated their First Amendment right to free expression. Groups and individuals may now provide relief to voters in the 2024 elections who are waiting in long lines that stretch more than 150 feet from the polling location entrance. [...] "We applaud the court’s orders blocking parts of SB 202 that prohibit the provision of food and water to voters waiting in Georgia’s longest lines, 150 feet outside of a polling place, and the rule requiring voters to unnecessarily supplement their absentee ballot with their date of birth information," said Poy Winichakul, SPLC’s senior staff attorney for voting rights. "We look forward to the case proceeding and an official ruling striking down the harmful provisions of this anti-voter law."
