The no water in line rule was nonsense because anyone going to vote on a 88 degree day can bring water to the polls. Plan ahead and share. I posted as much here a couple months ago and was roundly criticized by those who believed it was the most important issue facing future elections. I got 3 recs and about 50 comments telling me what an idiot I am to not understand how everyone has to hand out water to voters in line.

I did go on to say I don't want people handing out gifts of any kind to voters because water bottles, candy bars, and such can be labelled in support of a candidate. I believe the flags around a precinct mark a sacred "no campaign" zone where only voters should be allowed. No bringing lawn chairs, water bottles, or umbrellas for people, especially while wearing a t-shirt supporting an issue or candidate.

But what do I know? I don't understand how many voters pass out and die from dehydration while trying to vote for democrats. Republicans, apparently, don't have that problem.
