I'm trying to figure out what it is that I got wrong.This is not how the statute reads.

Each use of the words “nor shall” indicates a separate and distinct prohibition.
You cannot solicit votes in any manner or by any means or method, (If what follows was all just about soliciting or enticing then it would be redundant because it’s already encompassed by “any means or method”)
You cannot distribute or display any campaign material.
You cannot give, offer to give, or participate in the giving of any money or gifts, including, but not limited to, food and drink, to an elector,
You cannot solicit signatures for any petition. (For your version to be correct, this would have to be an enticement. It’s not.)
You cannot establish or set up any tables or booths on any day in which ballots are being cast, unless you’re an election official.
No one can give a voter in line food or water within 150 ft of a polling place. Poll workers can but are not required to provide water.
PolitiFact - The facts about Georgia’s ban on food, water giveaways to voters
That's what makes the "Jim Crow" argument so dishonest. When compared to other states, Georgia's law is actually pretty moderate. States like Delaware and Connecticut don't even have early voting. Let me know when the protest begins in Dover.
I don’t know Ga’s wife.For a detailed list, ask your wife. Guarantee she knows.
Red could probably spend a week just detailing what's wrong with you. And that would still be just the cliff notes.I don’t know Ga’s wife.
He’s seems smart enough to analyze himself, but this group is more than willing to help him if he wants a 2nd opinion
Edit: unless your saying my wife would know what GaVol got wrong……which would be accurate. She knows what’s wrong with everyone
Here’s a more reasonable article
Georgia’s New Voting Law Aims to Restrict Black Vote, Justice Department Says
All you have to do is give it to a volunteer. No idea why this constantly gets ignored.Can anyone explain the reasoning behind passing a law that someone cannot bring food or water to someone waiting in line to vote? I mean other than knowing some will get thirsty and leave joining those who already got tired and left. The fact that black voters throughout Georgia have to wait in much longer lines than white voters is well established.
Expanded voting on the WEEKENDS, not sure how that's racist. Saturdays required (were optional), sundays are now optional (werent allowed before)...Which nobody seems to want to notice.
This is simply a large state where Democrats have made gains and they want to accelerate the process.
Ok…. So you can’t try to cheaply bribe someone with food or water…. That’s not racistThis is not how the statute reads.

Since you're an attorney maybe you can summarize for all of us luddites what legal standing is behind this lawsuit that claims it discriminates against blacks?It doesn’t say you can’t try to “cheaply bribe” someone with food or water. It says you can’t give an elector (voter) food or water.
I didn’t say it was racist.
I can, but all I’m going to do is read this Link, which was linked in the article, and then summarize it.Since you're an attorney maybe you can summarize for all of us luddites what legal standing is behind this lawsuit that claims it discriminates against blacks?
I just read it and I'm still confused as to what is in the Georgia law that affects black people that doesn't affect white people. Please point that out since this will be argued in possibly up to the supreme court assuming the doj filed this in the 9th circuit?I can, but all I’m going to do is read this Link, which was linked in the article, and then summarize it.
Have you already read it? If so, it would save time to point out which part you didn’t understand.
