evidence: As Albright knew well, the show was referring to a real law. In 2021, Georgia Republicans enacted SB202, a bill with sweeping voting restrictions, including a ban on giving out food or water within 150ft of a polling place or within 25ft of any voter standing in a line – which could extend well beyond the 150ft radius. Violating it is a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in prison and a $1,000 fine. [...] Albright was very familiar with efforts to make it harder to hand out food and water to people waiting to vote. In 2023, Black Voters Matter faced a complaint it was running afoul of electioneering rules after it handed out food and water to people standing in polling lines in Albany, Georgia. The state board of elections dismissed the complaint. The board has not had any recent complaints about groups giving out food or water, said Sara Tindall Ghazal, a Democrat on the board. [...] Last summer, a federal judge limited the scope of the food-and-water ban. While handing out food and water to votes within 150 feet of a polling place is still banned, providing aid outside of that radius is allowed (it wasn’t clear how close David was to the polling place when his alleged offense occurred).
