You're not allowed to give people any sort of bribes when voting for good reason. Its a form of rigging elections.
“I know we got rid of polling places and redistricted everything for the eighth year creating longer lines than ever in order to disincentivize civil participation by regular people, but those folks over there handing out bottles of water to people waiting in the sun to exercise their rights is rigging elections!”
That is definitely one of the takes of all time
Lmao least surprising comment history ever.
Yes, if you provide a subsidy for starving children that's a political bribe. Goddamn your thought processes are all fucked up.
Im talking about the water at voting stations
Literally all you have to do is ban people from showing party affiliation when handing that out, problem solved. Banning the act of giving people water because of what line they're in is evil
"Vote for me. I'll give you water while you wait in the baking sun"
This is how people get elected 👌
LOL
Giving a wealthy suburb ample facilities so people can just walk in and vote in 15 minutes, but understaffing and skimping in an urban area so people have to wait in line in the sun for 5 hours is voter suppression, which is a form of rigging elections.
