A judge declined to block a section of Georgia election law that bans handing out food and water to voters waiting in line, meaning the provision will remain in effect for the midterms.
ATLANTA — A judge has declined to block a section of a Georgia election law that bans handing out food and water to voters waiting in line.
The 74-page order, which was issued Thursday, means that the provision will remain in effect for the closely watched November general election. Republican Gov. Brian Kemp is locked in a rematch with Democratic challenger Stacey Abrams, while Democratic U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock is trying to fend off a challenge from Republican Herschel Walker.
U.S. District Judge J.P. Boulee said the voting rights groups may ultimately prevail on part of their challenge, but he agreed with the state that it's too close to the election to block any part of the provision. He noted that requiring different rules for the general election than those in place for the primaries earlier this year could cause confusion for election workers.
The voting rights groups expressed disappointment with Boulee's ruling but said they will continue to fight.
