Why don't people see that giving out water and snacks could be seen as voter manipulation?

Question

If a group clearly belonging to an organization gives out things to voters, that could be seen as voter manipulation. How is this okay while someone is about to vote It is one thing to avoid of any association to a group, but likely that will not happen. Plus who makes the decision of which organization gives out water and snacks at polling station?

Offering water and snacks in my opinion is fine, if done by the poll workers. It is NOT okay if done by a partisan political group or organization of any kind left or right.

Provided water and snacks are available to EVERYBODY in line at a polling station it cannot be regarded as manipulation. If you go along refusing to give it to anyone intending to vote Democrat - then it is! GOP take note!

Because it's a crock of BS because Republicans make no provisions for people waiting hours in the sun.

To begin with, those extraordinarily long voting lines are the direct result of Republican tactics to suppress the Democratic vote. Outlawing food and drink for those waiting in line for the opportunity to cast their vote is just one more tactic Republicans have implemented to suppress the Democratic vote.
      If Republicans had ideas that the majority of Americans would support, they'd be all in on getting EVERY eligible voter to the polls on election days. But, they are fully aware that they don't have that ... So, they understand that the only way they can win is by cheating.

We aren't Haiti, we don't need food and water standing in line to vote. It's not charity, it's voter intimidation, which is a felony.
