Georgia Bans Giving Water to Voters in Line

Last week, Georgia’s Governor Brian Kemp signed a new bill that enacted broad and controversial voting restrictions. One element that quickly rose to headlines was that the new law would ban passing out water and food to citizens who were waiting in line to vote. 

News articles quickly surfaced discussing the law and its restrictions. According to Georgia Public Broadcasting, the law comes with changes that impact many domains of voting such as absentee voting, in-person voting, and the State Election Board. 

Social media erupted in conversation regarding rumors about this claim.
