I think Georgia's restrictions might have over reached a bit when they banned providing water to people waiting in line to vote.
In things like that, I am more libertarian then republican - less government is better government.
Plenty of sites on the right pointing out that the MLB pulled out of a (iirc) ~50% black population area to one that's ~10%.
Stop drinking the Koolaid and lies. They did NOT ban providing water to people waiting in line to vote. Don't listen to biden or the media - they are lying about that. The only restrictions is it prevents those affiliated with a political party from handing out gifts (including food and water) within 150 ft of a polling place. Thats called electioneering and has been banned since elections started. They can bring their own water, the poll workers can hand out water, or they can get it for free from political parties outside the 150 ft distance when they arrive to vote.Quote:

The average high temp in Georgia in November is 63deg! In June during the primary it's like 86deg.
Those comments alone should tip everyone off that the water ban thing was complete fabricated hogwash. The claim that anyone wrote and passed a law specifically banning water should immediately fail everyone's smell test and encouraged them to do a bit more digging.
why a business of any kind wants to get political and "take a side" is beyond me. After all, once you do that you are sure to alienate about 50% of your potential viewers/buyers/business. But then again, how effective is boycotting these days? Has there been any businesses put out of business because of their political view? Doesn't look like any of the major league sports are dying despite the fact that they've "chosen" sides although I'm another that simply have stopped watching any of them. Although to be fair, football was about the only one that I used to watch.
When you "own" the media, or they "own" you, the lies are spread as fact and believed. While the political folks are always trying to spin, it's the media that is the biggest threat to our way of life here in the USA. They have been working to split us for decades. The media, hollywood, the lot of them. The media has take up the cause of their socialist owners, likely because they want more money and power. There is no "free press" - even freedom of speech is under attack by the media. They decide who to censor, who to promote, when to spread hate and about whom. They will turn on this administration at some point.

When I pointed this out to someone claiming that the Republicans made it illegal to give water to anyone in line, I was accused of shading. 150 ft is 50 yards, and with a yard between people that's 50 people inside the forbidden zone. How long would it take the 50 people inside the polls to vote, because that's the max amount of time they'd be without access to water, and that's if they don't bring their own, the poll workers don't give out any and they weren't bright enough to grab some at the 160' line.Quote:

The first picture is what the media lies are showing. They are literally posting this part everywhere. Even Fox News posted this part on twitter.
They say, here's the law, it very clearly forbids campaign actives, including handing out "food or drink" within 150ft of a polling place. OMG! They won't let people have water!!!! The humanity!!!! Save us!!
But they cutoff the rest of this section, from the very same page.
The rest states, "this section shall not prohibit a poll officer from making available self-service water to electors waiting in line."
On THE VERY SAME F'IN PAGE the law says people waiting can be given WATER!
But the media intentionally removed that part. They're all so full of shit it's sickening.
