Federal law prohibits anyone from knowingly or willfully paying or offering to pay or accepting payment for registering to vote or voting (42 USC § 1973i(c)). It applies to primaries and elections that have candidates on the ballot for the office of president, vice president, presidential elector, or member of Congress, whether or not the violation alleges payment related to a candidate for one of those particular offices. It includes criminal penalties for violations.

And I will admit there are those who take the other side of the issue
Is it legal to hand out food to people waiting in line at voting locations?
Groups and nonprofits around the country have started handing out food to voters waiting in long lines. But what does federal election law say about it?

It is not the other side of the issue.. it is the correct reading of the law:

QUESTION:

Is it legal under federal law to hand out food to voters waiting in line at polling places?
ANSWER:

Yes, as long as they are not asking for anything in return or trying to influence someone's vote.

And recognize the list of articles with legal experts taking the opposite opinion. I provide this particular article to show there was an opposing point of view.

So tell me is it proper for campaign volunteers wearing shirts, hats, and clothing promoting their candidate to be handing out food & water to voters in line?

You are citing laws without actually reading them GWB....

handing o ut water is not offering to pay for a vote or registering to vote.

READ the laws you are citing and not the headlines.

see that's what happens when I extend the benefit of the doubt. Here I thought NY made it illegal for people to hand out water to those in line

It's always a mistake to give GWB the benefit of a doubt he eventually just turns on anyone who doesn't buy into his take on the world like a lap dog. I blocked him again got tired of the sociopathic bs.

Again, a business may disagree with you.
A business may not want to support customers using its service to interfere with a US election, or plan violence, for example. Some will consider this a political decision.
Regardless, it's up to the business.
Again, businesses are a group of ... people.
EDIT: Unlike some people; I'm glad some businesses have a moral compass, and a measure of ethics about them.

Some Bakers also have a moral compass and don't not want to put their artist talents into a unique cake

I did not reply to any post about a baker.

I guess I need to state the obvious (to most people): It's up to the business, within the legal scope. Better now?
