    Georgia Gov. Kemp says that voters waiting in long lines can order from Uber Eats

    Wow...thank you Governor Kemp! Thanks for allowing us poor folk to order Grub Hub or Uber Eats while we wait in line to vote - can you provide some umbrellas or suntan lotion while you are at it? We really appreciate it and there will be water stations too? My Lord! Thank you!

    F'ing pathetic. That's what it is. We can only hope we win the appeal. Honest to god, I wish Trump never became President. He has f'ed this entire country. POS.

    GOP Gov. Brian Kemp of Georgia suggested in a Newsmax interview earlier this week that voters waiting in line to vote could order food from online delivery apps like Grubhub or Uber Eats, as he continues to face blowback for the 2021 MLB All-Star Game leaving the state over its newly-enacted voting law.
    The law, known as the Election Integrity Act of 2021 or SB 202, tightens election rules in the state by limiting drop boxes, strengthening voter identification requirements, and banning water and food from being distributed by volunteers to voters waiting in line, among other measures. It has been slammed by prominent Democrats including President Joe Biden and former Georgia state House Minority Leader and potential 2022 gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams.


    Several major companies — including Coca-Cola and Delta — have spoken out against the bill or voter suppression more broadly, which has upset Kemp and most statewide Republicans, who say the law is being distorted.
    Kemp addressed one of the more contentious aspects of the law, which bars volunteers from distributing water or food to voters in line.

    They can order a pizza," Kemp said of voters waiting to vote. "They can order Grubhub or Uber Eats, right?"
    He added: "The county officials can provide water stations. This is just within 150 feet of the precinct. If you're 151 feet, campaigns can set up tables, food trucks … they can hang up flyers and set up signs. This is all they [Democrats] have to grasp at."

    Yeah, whether or not voters are hungry, is our biggest problem!

    Good point! our biggest concern should be pronouns. If a man named Steve is waiting in line to vote and identifies as a Nepalese goat named Binsa we must make sure everyone addresses Steve Binsa the Nepali goat appropriately.

    Dang, you are such a whiner. Electioneering at polls is illegal. I know it burns your butt that democrats are not allowed to offer something of value to people waiting in line to vote but maybe you are one of those that needs to eat every 5 minutes.
    When Donald Trump said to protest “peacefully”, he meant violence.

    When he told protesters to “go home”, he meant stay for an insurrection.

    And when he told Brad Raffensperger to implement “whatever the correct legal remedy is”, he meant fraud.

    War is peace.

    Freedom is slavery.

    Ignorance is strength.

    Yeah, it expands voting and helps stop cheating. That is what you really hate. It is easier to vote in GA than NY but hey, you gotta whine about something but I realize you are not really bright enough to understand that other states are more strict about this and this is all about partisan stupidity on your part.

    Then why, until now, has hungry people in line to vote, not been an issue?

    Why NOW, is it so important to get food to those people?
