So IF the districts that have historically been ill supplied with voting equipment causing hours long lines....

IF voter suppression wasn't ALREADY happening by misallocation of resources....

NO ONE would need water and snacks to keep from passing out while waiting to vote.

MAYBE THAT IS THE REAL ANSWER.

Make it illegal to have voting lines that long year after year. So if it happens, the following voting occasion needs to be properly supplied. IE: X amount of voters waiting 4 hours with 8 voting machines.... add 8 more voting machines the following election.
