    You forgot that they close polling stations in districts that vote against them and make it illegal to give food and water to people in line to vote.

      I explicitly mentioned making it illegal to give food and water to people waiting in line and included a link to a news article about the Georgia law that outlawed doing so.

      That first point is a good one though, I’m not familiar with it but am totally unsurprised it’s happening.

        My point was that the latter part is to make the pain from the first part worse. It’s a deliberate combination. Make waits longer and make people suffer during the wait.
