Literature has been using asterisks, daggers, double daggers, etc. to denote markups, notes, corrections, whatever for centuries.

This is going to sound condescending and it’s not intended that way, but read a book. Not a fiction, but non-fiction. Biographies that need research, science texts on detailed subjects, psychology with many interpretations, really anything outside of a storybook.

Have fun learning, and this is not a dumb question. You’re on the right track.

I already ditched Chrome and Gmail over this kind of garbage. Most, probably not, but the privacy and security minded will find alternatives.

The problem is that campaigns will use snacks and water to campaign as close to polling places as possible. That’s what the law is trying to prevent, so that there aren’t 15 10’X10’ tents with names emblazoned on top just to garner more votes.

How you solve for that is: No branding or signage beyond “Free Water” or “Free Refreshments” and workers are not allowed to speak to anyone. Just place things on a table. Campaigns can setup tents, refreshments outside of a new buffer, 300 ft. Or, OR, just ban campaigns from setting up tents. If it’s found, they forfeit the election.

But, we all know that legislatures aren’t about making common sense laws.
