Thank you!  Does the prohibition only apply to people who are 150 feet or less from the entrance, or to anyone in line no matter how far away it is??  Thanks again.

It is Section 33.  The change to previous law is underlined.
 
 
1867 SECTION 33.
 1868 Said chapter is further amended by revising subsections (a) and (e) of Code
 1869 Section 21-2-414, relating to restrictions on campaign activities and public opinion polling

 1871 from entering certain polling places, and penalty, as follows:
 1872 "(a) No person shall solicit votes in any manner or by any means or method, nor shall any
 1873 person distribute or display any campaign material, nor shall any person give, offer to give,
 1874 or participate in the giving of any money or gifts, including, but not limited to, food and
 1875 drink, to an elector, nor shall any person solicit signatures for any petition, nor shall any
 1876 person, other than election officials discharging their duties, establish or set up any tables

 1878 (1) Within 150 feet of the outer edge of any building within which a polling place is

   I hope someone on the list has read the bill in depth and can tell us what page the "no food or water" part is on, or what section of the bill has that.  I tried to find it but I failed.
