(The Center Square) โ A federal judge handed down a mixed ruling in a case challenging Georgiaโs election law.
U.S. District Judge J.P. Boulee ruled against a provision barring anyone from giving away food, drinks, or gifts if they are more than 150 feet from the polling place. However, the judge kept a ban within 150 feet, a practice commonly called “line relief.”
