Subject: Re: 18 USC 241 Intent
Pretty sure that is covered by "no electioneering within 75 feet of a polling place" laws. There was no need to ban ALL water bottles. Unless maybe a candidate is named "Kirkland"? :-|

The intent of the law is that politicking doesn't take place in the polling line.
The better question to ask is, "Why is the polling line so long? It's a five minute thing to vote,".

...unless of course it's your *objective* to make it tough on Election Day, which is exactly the strategy that democrats employ. Then they get to complain when Republicans won't allow water or something in response to the very problem they caused in first place.

I can almost admire the subtle touch in that strategy. It's a two-fer.
