Sorry. It's challenging to stay non-sarcastic when Republicans have introduced more than 250 similar measures in 43 states to restrict one of our most basic rights.
Do Republicans fear democracy?

What if we Brought Water to hand out at the polls, Had a Priest Bless it, it then becomes Holy Water and therefore becomes a first amendment freedom of religion violation to prevent it's free distribution to anyone who wants to receive it?
I like my idea better.Want to give people water? Just step up an unmanned water table. Free water less the human interaction/exchange. Problem solved.
Someone should have reminded the legislature of that possibility while they were writing the law. Oops.Want to give people water? Just step up an unmanned water table. Free water less the human interaction/exchange. Problem solved.

Or Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, Methodist, Lutheran....Yeah, but then it would be Catholic water.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signs restrictive voting bill
Florida Republicans, who have repeatedly acknowledged that their state ran a successful and secure 2020 election, said the bill would provide "guardrails" to prevent anyone from "gaming the system" in the future.
In signing the bill during an appearance on "Fox & Friends," the Florida Republican highlighted provisions of the bill including stricter voter ID requirements for voting by mail, creating limits on who can pick up and return a voter's ballot, and banning private funding for elections.
Some of the restrictions created by the bill, Senate Bill 90, also include expanding partisan observation power during ballot tabulation and creating additional restrictions for drop box use.
The bill is part of a Republican-led effort nationwide to restrict voting access at the state level in the wake of record turnout in last November's elections. A tally by the left-leaning Brennan Center for Justice at New York University found that 361 bills with provisions that restrict voting had been introduced in 47 states as of March 24.

There's been some speculation that some parts of this bill may backfire. People in nursing homes and seniors in general are more likely to vote by mail, and they tend to skew Republican.
Well that's a win for the DNC then, isn't it?
No, a limiting of the ability to vote is always a loss.
I know this may seem odd for those in the RNC but not every political party is craven enough for power that they will be happy to see people lose their ability to vote if it means they have a better chance to win an election.
it's limiting the ability to vote illegally. That's good, right?

The attempt in so many states is straightforward: to reduce the number of black votes. This effort may have intended consequences, as on would expect from any Trump effort.A loss for democracy.
