About the theory that giving food/water to on-line voters ...

7. Easy answer: rural voters don't wait in long lines. Only urban voters who tend to be non-white.

it's a gamble, and not a bad one, that even if say 4 of 10 R voters get disenfranchised, one can bet that 6-7 of 10 D voters also disenfranchised. It's a number game which is why they have closed a ton of polling places in urban (read: black) areas yet opened up even more in many rural areas that vote 80%+ R.

They win, we lose even if their actions hurts some (smaller) number of R voters. Also, the ratio of voters to polling places, et al, is far lower in rural areas than say Atlanta and other large GA cities.

The new law about anyone being able to challenge another voter is especially pernicious as holding up the line, so to speak, while a challenge is checked out, has the same effect as limiting voting hours for those not served with a ballot in the meantime. And one can bet the R's will be paying folks to gum up the works in minority areas simply for that opportunity to minimze votes for D candidates. In fact, I can see no part of the law that prevents payment to folks for voter or ballot challenges inside the polling place.

Funny how that works to the R's advantage, eh?
