by itself, it is discrimination.
lets take the water and food portion of the law - If you are on a voting line for several hours and someone brings along some water or some food
because of the wait why would anyone care about that? Why make a law for that? -
Now let's look at why the lines are so long they create waiting times of hours upon hours (11 hours in some places). It's because there are not enough
precincts and polling places open for that population they are set for. In fact, the amount of polling places have been cut in places like Georgia where
the population is predominantly black or Hispanic. Hence the long lines at polling places. So why does it matter if someone brings along a little drink
or food? Because it's a deterrent to those who might want to stay in line to vote. That's how it's racist -
In a study to find out what the lines were like for certain groups of people - Whites in predominantly white neighborhoods stood in line on an average less
than 1/2 hour - not so in black or poor neighborhoods.
There's so much more to this that you and your kin here are ignoring.
Should people have ID? In the world of today, of course they should - Just a note, your signature is your ID.
Your simpleton view of it all seems so crass in a nation where there are greater dynamics to issues than you're willing to accept.
But this is not unexpected as your brethren here have been base enough to carry that torch for decades.
