I heard about their voter suppression bill a few days ago. I wasn't surprised that they would go after Sunday voting to try to suppress black voters, wasn't surprised about voter ID, but I am taken aback that they want to make it illegal to give food to people waiting in long lines.
In addition to banning Sunday voting, the bill would also make it illegal to hand out food and drinks to voters stuck in long polling place lines and would mandate that "absentee ballot drop boxes could only be located inside in-person early voting sites during working hours."

The nerve of these people. Because white upper class neighborhoods rarely have to stand in line lying. They really need to find someone who will flip the number of precincts/voting machines needed to show them how cruel this is.

Fight the law sure, but we also need to be prepared to circumvent it too.
