By now we all have heard of the attempts to suppress the vote in many Red States…..Georgia has one of the most restrictive….it even includes a portion that bans anyone from giving food or water to people waiting in the hot Southern sun…..
But wait the Georgia governor has made another ‘stupid’ statement about this portion of the restrict state law……
The GOP governor then responded to criticism of the law’s provision limiting the distribution of food and water at polling stations, confirming that polling centers can still provide refreshments and that people can bring their own food and water with them.
“They can order a pizza. They can order Grubhub or Uber Eats. The county officials can provide water stations,” he said, adding that the restriction on handing out food and water “is just within 150 feet of the precinct.”
“If you’re 151 feet, campaigns can set up tables, food trucks, they can hand out flyers, put up signs,” he continued. “This has been the case in Georgia for a long time and many, many other states.”
Several social media users condemned Kemp for suggesting that voters order food, with some saying that the statement was “tone deaf,” as many people may not be able to afford food delivery services.

He is trying to walk back a restrict and unfair law….and illustrates just how much of political hacks they truly are.
These morons just cannot help being stupid…..and are prime examples of the statement that you “can’t fix stupid”…..

Refreshments at polling stations during elections? That is completely unknown here, and I doubt it would be allowed.
Best wishes, Pete.
But is there a 4 to 8 hour wait to vote? chuq
No, nothing like that. The last time I voted, I walked straight in, voted, and left. Why would there be an eight-hour wait? Don’t they have enough polling places? That’s crazy. People here would never wait four hours to vote, let alone eight.
