You really have to be a monster to be a republican - GA Bill to prevent voters from getting food [View all]

I heard about their voter suppression bill a few days ago. I wasn't surprised that they would go after Sunday voting to try to suppress black voters, wasn't surprised about voter ID, but I am taken aback that they want to make it illegal to give food to people waiting in long lines.

In addition to banning Sunday voting, the bill would also make it illegal to hand out food and drinks to voters stuck in long polling place lines and would mandate that "absentee ballot drop boxes could only be located inside in-person early voting sites during working hours."
