In Georgia, following months of controversy and litigation over a law signed last year by Republican Gov. Brian Kemp that barred distributing food and water to voters, the groups engaged in that effort appeared to be adapting. One non-profit group, Georgia STAND-UP, simply moved the effort across the street – away from the voting.
In the parking lot of an Atlanta auto parts store, the group handed out bags that included water, potato chips, a candy bar, a rain poncho, handwarmers and voting information. There was a DJ, hot dogs and folding chairs for voters who struggled to wait in line.
"We can't give it to them so they come get it," said Chandra Gallashaw with the group. "Isn't that a great idea?" But the election on Tuesday, like those before it, wasn't entirely free of problems.
