In Georgia, it's "illegal to give people water within 150 feet of a polling place" and "punishable by up to a year in prison."
Can't you vote by mail in the US? Why do this to yourself? In Germany I always vote via mail and it is super convenient as I can just throw it into the mail on my way to the grocery store.
republiQans have limited voting by mail because it means more votes for them. Most states have some kind of vote-by-mail system but it’s constantly under attack by republiQans.
See also; gerrymandering, closing polling stations, challenging voter registration, and other unAmerican activities by republiQans.
Figured. It's kinda telling too. In a democracy you want as many people to vote as possible, so you'd think you would make the process as easy as possible too. Anything else would not give you proper representation of the populace.
The right wing learned a long time ago they must cheat to maintain power. And so they do.
If voting was about policies and proper representation, the right-wing party would have long since been extinct lol. They have none of that going for them.
