Satisfying The Thirst of A Waiting Voter

The UN statement on “Human Rights to Water and Sanitation” includes “Physically accessible” and although it doesn’t mention “Voters in Line” it is implied that it should be available anywhere, but it appears not so in Georgia, USA. The new law in Georgia makes it a misdemeanor crime to give food or drinks to voters waiting in long lines and again although not mentioned it is apparent that this will affect Black voters the most.

What reasonable legislator could think it is wrong for people to hand out free water and food to anyone? What reasonable legislator could think that a bottle of water and a roll could make a voter change their voting intention? What reasonable legislator still thinks the election was stolen? What reasonable legislator would try to make it more difficult for anyone to vote?

Apparently a few in Georgia think this way and maybe it would be best to vote them out as soon as possible and celebrate their departure, not with a glass of champagne but a bottle of water.
