What is the point of new legislation when you don't enforce existing law?

Holy shite...have I been being suppressed this entire time in Louisiana?!? I've been voting since the fall of 1988, and NOT ONCE has anyone given me a bottle of water!!!
OUTRAGE!!!

No one has ever offered me water while I was in line to vote. It never even crossed my mind. I lived.
I tend to see this proposed legislation as a solution looking for a problem, but it is not ENTIRELY unreasonable.

Better yet, send R. Kelly to the precinct.

Handing out water violates social distancing. You want to play the covid game? Fine, strap up

I have never seen a good Samaritan handing out water at the DMV. Why is that? those lines can be hours long no matter what time you go
This will go unanswered, but it's one hell of a solid question.
Why are there not these same groups of do-gooders out handing out food and drinks to long lines all across the country? Not places like homeless shelter, but merely where you encounter a long, potentially boring arse line?
Could it be there is not really any incentive for the group to do that, because there is nothing to gain from handing some tool a bottle of water and a snack bar while they wait in line at the post office on some random Wednesday in February?

In both Augusta Ga and Thomson Ga. both high minority areas(both over 65% black). I’ve never waited in line long enough to need a drink. The last 20 years the longest I’ve waited was over a name issue.

Georgia legislators wasting taxpayer money to actually talk about this shite? Much less write it down? Much less vote?

I don't think I'd be failing in my Christian duty if I didn't provide water to someone who pre-planned a trip to a polling place, and then voluntarily stood in an air-conditioned line for 15 minutes.
Of all the nonsense that has worked you up, this might be the stupidest.

What does this happen to do with being Christian. Are they crawling through the desert dying of thirst, or standing in line for an hour.
Whut?
This actually stops libtard idiots like you from paying these fools with "goodies" for voting. I know it messes up your pay to play plan, but deal with it.

Celtic meltic, why did you run away again? Why you so scared to respond? Here, let me post it again so you can say “I didn’t see it” or whatever other bullshite response you have cocked and loaded.
quote:
Because “campaigners” lends itself to only those that are actually on the campaigning “team”. Those folks you see out waving signs on Election Day are VOLUNTEERS. Not campaigners.
By getting volunteers that aren’t on the official pay role, campaigns are able to navigate the the legal wording and skirt the rules.
“That random person cooking bbq across the street from the voting site isn’t affiliated with us, that’s a random citizen”
What about “follow the science?”
Gonna respond to that one as well?

Then they can do it outside the exclusion zone.
It isn’t that hard.

There's the MelticDog that's been missing since the Turnip assumed office.

this ties in with providing few polling places in democrat areas.
defend this if you are a Christian.
Ok.
If they appear to be suffering from dehydration, I’ll offer them water outside the polling place, or a ride to a medical clinic or hospital.
I don’t remember ever seeing you be correct about anything.

I am just curious as to what problem it is that this legislation is designed to address.
It is ALREADY illegal to electioneer within the exclusion zone. It is ALREADY illegal to hand someone a bottle of water in the exclusion zone, if that bottle has a label promoting a candidate or party.
Is there a tidal wave of people in Georgia who are attempting to influence voters by handing out free Bubble Up, water bottles, BBQ, and pizza WITHOUT ever mentioning a candidate or party, just HOPING that the voters will somehow intuit what vote it is that they are attempting to solicit?
Again, the existing law seems to directly address the potential problems, and it just seems like this proposed legislation is a solution searching desperately for a (non-existent) problem.
Don't we already have ENOUGH laws that prohibit behavior that is not really a problem of any sort?

There won’t be any enforcement so why does it matter. The uniparty hates America.

what does that prove?
your logic is flawed.
care to divulge your race?
care to divulge your place of residence?
if you are an example we can learn from then share your identifying characteristics.
My god, you're an idiot. You're too dense to realize the reasoning for this and why it was necessary, and how it was a loophole in election law that needed to be closed.
And yet, you have the gall to tell ANYONE else their "logic is flawed"
I'll give you a little hint, since you incorrectly equate this to some Christianity thing and keeping water from people who need it:
Have you ever seen water bottles with custom labels on them? Now, have you ever heard of the election laws prohibiting campaigning within so many feet of a polling place? What if some activist group or PAC not affiliated with a campaign took advantage of being "good citizens" and handed out water bottles to people waiting in line to vote?
ARE YOU PUTTING IT TOGETHER YET?
Don't be so fricking stupid.
