evidence: Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) on Sunday announced plans to introduce a bill to protect voters’ access to water while waiting in line at polling places, a move designed to combat a minor but controversial aspect of recent legislation passed in Georgia and other states as more comprehensive voting reform legislation faces long odds in Congress. Ossoff, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, will hold a press conference on Monday unveiling a bill to "protect voters’ access to water when they are made to wait in line outside polling places," according to an advisory from his office. The advisory takes aim at a bill passed in Ossoff’s home state of Georgia last month that makes it a misdemeanor to give away food or water within 150 feet of a polling station, noting that the law "makes it a crime punishable by up to a year in jail."
