After Georgia election law, voters offered water, snacks before getting in line

The Rev. Gerald Durley, a civil rights veteran, is telling volunteers to pass out water and snacks to voters before they get to the polls, even while in the car or van.

It’s illegal under the Georgia voting law passed last year to hand out food or water to voters waiting in line, so instead they’re getting it in the car before they approach the precinct.

“This election is very critical,” said Durley, a founding member of the pastor-led voting rights group Faith Works. “We’ll see what happens today.”
