The Republicans in Georgia have passed bill HB 531 making it illegal to give anyone food or water as they wait in line to vote.
Georgia’s Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger objected to the law because, he said, his office had already ruled that pizza at the polls is a crime. Before the Georgia US Senate run-offs, Raffensperger threatened groups, stating that:
“offering food, drinks, or other items of value to voters waiting in line or those who have already voted is forbidden under Georgia law (OCGA § 21-2-570).”
Anyone handing pizza to a voter, according to Raffensperger, “shall be guilty of a felony.”
