evidence: The law makes it a misdemeanor, punishable by up to a year in jail, to give away food or water to voters standing in line within 150 feet of the outer edge of a polling place or within 25 feet of any voter. The law's supporters said that provision is intended to ban electioneering, blocking political parties or candidate supporters from offering aid to voters. The law is written more broadly, however, and bars the provision of such aid from anyone but poll workers. A third lawsuit, announced by the ACLU Tuesday on behalf of multiple organizations that engage minority voters, called the ban "cruel and inhumane." "These provisions will affect all Georgia voters. But consistent with Georgia’s long and ongoing record of discrimination, the burdens will be disproportionately felt by voters of color, especially Black voters," the complaint read, adding that these voters "rely on water and other support to withstand the long lines they wait in to vote."
