    Why should poll workers, who are already under enormous pressure and now time constraints have to go give water?

    What is the purpose of not allowing someone else to give water, while here in Texas, they allow people to video and harass voters standing in line?
    When you say it's gonna happen now
    When exactly do you mean?

    They also wanted to ban Sunday voting but caved when they realized that would be too obviously targeting minority voters.

    Have the people working the polls passed out water before? No.

    Here we go again. Politics rears it's ugly head. Flashbacks to the late , unlamented Covid threads. The political bitterness of today can poison just about any aspect of life if we let it. How about ending this thread now , before it gets worse .

    Probably a good idea.

    It's ok for some.

    Yeh. Best to end this. Already, we have 'some' bound and determined to expand this specific issue, where Georgia, the Braves, and Georgia citizens have been economically harmed by a political decision by the MLB and big business. Real "little people" facing economic harm.

    Yes! End this thread! There is no upside to continued political back and forth, where BOTH SIDES have legitimate concerns and clarifications.

    BOTH SIDES have fair points! BOTH SIDES will demagogue the issue.

    No. I’m pointing out this type of action isn’t new. Just our reaction to it is...

    This isn't going to end well if it keeps going.
