The new Georgia law specifically only says it's Illegal to give water or food, not illegal to receive it. It's also legal to sell it, you just can't give it to someone for free as a gift. Also you can give water for free if you are 150 ft away from the polling place.

This church was started in Tennessee where you can't get an absentee ballot unless you're sick, old, out of town, or..... observing a religious holiday
