Curb's final season has revolved around David's arrest for violating Georgia’s election integrity law after giving his friend Leon Black’s (J.B. Smoove) aunt (played by Ellia English) a bottle of water while she waited in line to vote during a hot day in Atlanta. Last month, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger sent a letter to David addressing the plotline about the 2021 voting law. “As the chief elections officer for the State of Georgia, we’d like to congratulate you on becoming the first and, to our knowledge, only person arrested for distributing water bottles to voters within 150 feet of a polling station,” Raffensperger wrote, before adding a not-so-subtle jab at Trump, whose mugshot in Atlanta inspired David’s. “We apologize if you didn’t receive celebrity treatment at the local jail. I’m afraid they’ve gotten used to bigger stars. It’s the TMZ of mugshots.” Raffensperger went on to jokingly defend his record and the law, writing that David would be “glad to hear that waiting times for all voters, including Leon’s aunt, in the last two major elections were under two minutes, even as we experienced record turnout.” Raffensperger added that he doesn't have the authority to give David a pardon.
