Oh the lies and contradictions:
The new law, which includes a restriction on drop boxes, makes it a crime to provide food or water to voters lined up outside polling stations, requires mandatory proof of identity for absentee voting and creates greater legislative control over how elections are run. Opponents say these provisions will disproportionately disenfranchise people of color
The way I understand it, it's to forbid third parties from coming in and offering these things to voters standing in line to prevent electioneering and exchanging food/water for votes.
That said, WTH are these people, children?! Bring your own damn water and food. You manage to feed and hydrate yourselves every other hour of the day.
