According to CNN, the passage of SB 202:

• Limits access to voting drop boxes
• Makes giving food or drinks to voters a misdemeanor crime
• Allows for unlimited challenges to voter registrations and eligibility
• Sets up a fraud hotline 
• Requires counties to keep counting ballots without breaks
• Shortens the runoff cycle from nine weeks to four weeks
