After media overwhelmingly botched the Georgia provision on electioneering (and campaigns not handing out food and water) Axios tied Florida’s broad anti-electioneering provision... to food and water.
This provision is NOT controversial at all.
Disgraced Democrat lawyers have already begun filing their (incredibly thin) lawsuits, focused on misrepresenting these provisions.
✅ Drop box changes
✅ Requiring a request for mail ballots
✅ Limiting ballot harvesting
✅ “Food and water ban”
Here the Washington Post follows Biden and Stacey Abrams’ lead invoking Jim Crow in an incredible reach.
I have to imagine there’s some kind of reward out there for finding a way to tie Jim Crow in, because the stretch here (in a NEWS story) is quite something.

We all knew teachers unions were influencing CDC guidance on school openings, now we know CDC literally gave teachers unions approval authority over school reporting guidance.
Teachers union leaders thanking the HEAD OF THE CDC for her “genuine desire to earn our confidence.”
Hope it was worth it @CDCDirector because it came at the expense of the confidence of EVERYONE ELSE IN THE COUNTRY.
If you ever wrote one of those “Biden will lead with science” stories I hope you’ll take notice of this
Letting non-scientist political hacks OVERRULE the scientists at CDC in writing guidance to get struggling kids back in school is an outrageous scandal that can’t be ignored
She removed "I can't argue with an individuals choice to opt out" (referring to boycotts -- see previous tweet)
And followed with major changes to her paragraph about the pain boycotts cause, adding in the updated version "Boycotts invariably also cost jobs."
Interesting.
To be clear here -- @ddale8 is quoting lines that did NOT change between drafts.
But it's VERY interesting that she went back in to her op-ed that starts with "boycotts work" and HEAVILY edited it after the fact to be MORE anti-boycott.
✅ Called for defunding the police before the Senate -- then lied about it
✅ Called for legalizing all drugs, then lied about it
✅ Has tried to hide deep financial ties to company tied to drug cartel heroin production
✅ Ethics problems
Yes. In sworn Senate testimony last June Gupta called for reducing police budgets and the scope of police work. She SPECIFICALLY called for the Senate to "heed the calls of Black Lives Matter."
Colorado requires voter ID to vote in person — either a driver’s license, an IRS issued ID card, a valid passport, or a valid employee card with a photo.
@MLB better be ready to explain why this is more acceptable than Georgia after that absurd political statement.
Great nugget — Manchin isn’t the only Democrat with serious concerns about the bill... he’s just the only one willing to say it out loud and risk “incurring the wrath of the legion of liberal advocacy groups.”
LOVE this piece — Democrats can basically print money with Act Blue, and wrote their bill specifically to maximize their online fundraising advantage.
Now they’re worried about other Democrats using it against them.
Dem election officials are furious with Senate Dems' bill
✅Written with NO consultation with election administrators
✅Administrators were ignored to appease "activist bases"
✅Requires machines.. that don't exist yet
It mandates a totally nonsecure "telephone based automatic voter registration system" that .. doesn't currently exist, that states would be required to create.
Election officials are "baffled."
It gives INCREDIBLE power to the Election Assistance Commission.
Ironically, Democrats championing this bill were the same people who harshly criticized the commission just last election cycle for horrific mismanagement.
