LINK Major U.S. companies take aim at Georgia’s new voting restrictions

Business executives across the United States are calling out efforts to restrict voting access after Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signed a law that opponents say would disproportionately disenfranchise people of color.

Among the overhaul of state elections, the bill includes a restriction on drop boxes, makes it a crime to provide food or water to voters lined up outside polling stations, requires mandatory proof of identity for absentee voting and creates greater legislative control over how elections are run.

The bill is one of many Republican-backed election efforts introduced across the U.S. after former President Donald Trump and other GOP members falsely claimed that last year’s election defeat was due to fraud. Supporters say the law was needed to restore confidence in Georgia’s elections.

Talk is cheap, if the companies based in Georgia make moves to relocate then I would be impressed.
It's like the political candidate that says one thing and votes the opposite.
If they don't want to relocate pull all funding for the republicans who back this restrictive voting law.
