IT professional, Homeschooling father, decently avid reader. I need more hours to get everything done, but who doesn’t.
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.

Update: I appreciate all of the responses. I’ve read up more on this law, and ya’ll are right. The way it’s written, and how it’s communicated are different. I’m leaving my original comment up for clarity. Discourse is good and I appreciate the softer approaches along with some of the more angry of you.
The best thing for my family was that we were in St Jude with our daughter while the rest of the world lost their minds. I was able to speak directly to Infectious Disease doctors that had nothing to do with anything but researching for cancer patients. They had worked with the original doctors for the Covid vaccine, and how long it had been in development as we learned more about the disease. People were just going off ignorance. Just because you don’t know, doesn’t mean everyone else is trying to lie to you.
Pressure washer should help. One of those basic electric ones should be enough.
