@luchi.el.zorrito Strong voter ID laws are directly classist. Poor people are less likely to have a driver's license, so it's a hurdle you're adding for them, before they can vote. Poor people can less afford to take a day off to go get ID. "Free", except for that time off you won't get paid for, and your transportation costs. Hispanic and black Americans have higher percentages of poverty, which would make it indirectly racist, if that wasn't for the fact that is common knowledge, before the fact.
While Georgia isn't going back to zero drop boxes, and drop boxes are "expanding" from 2016, the 2020 election obviously made voting too convenient, so they're drastically reducing it from the amount they allowed for in 2020.
There are already fewer polling stations per capita in poorer districts which, again, disproportionately affects certain minority groups, making them have to stand in line longer. And now people can't bring them any food or water, as if they're going to change their vote in line, due to a water handout. Not sure why this would be an issue, if handing out food and water were a bipartisan activity. Oh wait, it's not, because right wingers don't give two shits about the people in line for hours.
But you've probably heard, or read, this kind of stuff before, and are just playing stupid.
