i see this as an absolute win, PACs will be forced to hand out more and more lavish gifts to voters and will have less money to spend on commercials that annoy everyone.
i still doubt that it will change many votes, but better to get a goodie bag than have to hear those cringey commercials for 3 months.
Politicians lying on commercials is as old as time and it's not material, that's pretty much the status quo. Offering actual material things is a step further.

No, psychological warfare through television and bribing politicians with lobbyist is legit but offering water is a line too far.
Why stop at water? The logical next step is to up the ante. The next steps are we'll have tm sponsored cookouts, team-sponsored raffles at polling stations, and so on.
