I wonder how Kemp and his crew would react if someone giving bottled water to those

standing in line to vote quoted Mathew, 35: 25 and insisted that their "deeply held religious convictions" required them to do so.

They SURELY don't want to infringe upon someone's RELIGIOUS rights like they're always preaching---or is that just bullshit, do ya think?

They proclaim that does not apply to them while they say they follow Christ's teachings. That makes them HYPOCRITES.

'Religious rights' are used like a bludgeon by those in power. They would howl to the godz if anyone attempted to invoke religious rights without being sanctioned politically. Hypocrites, one and all.

Do unto others....

But then, you'd never be in a position to care about anyone standing in line.

and this law is an affront to my religious practice, effectively outlawing it in certain situations.

I'd love to see someone bring suit on similar grounds. But maybe Elias has this one covered, or maybe Manchin will “get religion” on this issue.
