  • The problem is that campaigns will use snacks and water to campaign as close to polling places as possible. That’s what the law is trying to prevent, so that there aren’t 15 10’X10’ tents with names emblazoned on top just to garner more votes.

    How you solve for that is: No branding or signage beyond “Free Water” or “Free Refreshments” and workers are not allowed to speak to anyone. Just place things on a table. Campaigns can setup tents, refreshments outside of a new buffer, 300 ft. Or, OR, just ban campaigns from setting up tents. If it’s found, they forfeit the election.

    But, we all know that legislatures aren’t about making common sense laws.

    Update: I appreciate all of the responses. I’ve read up more on this law, and ya’ll are right. The way it’s written, and how it’s communicated are different. I’m leaving my original comment up for clarity. Discourse is good and I appreciate the softer approaches along with some of the more angry of you.
