States like Texas are on the precipice of following the lead of Georgia and Florida on some of the most restrictive voting laws in this nation. Georgia has passed S.B. 202, also known as the “Election Integrity Act of 2021.” However, the debate on constitutionality and equity rages down party lines as Republicans suggest the law allows more time to vote while Democrats contend it is voter suppression in action. One of the restrictions in the law maintains no one is allowed to bring water to those standing in line to vote.
