Kinda funny that Delta and Coke both wanted to be “crystal clear” about shyt. They could very easily make the state tap out and destroy that legislation.

Would be funny if all this work Georgia did to become an economic hub in the south gets totally upended by this. If I were a state governor I’d be gettin in the ear of these execs to move to a place where voting rights aren’t threatened.

You had 60 major companies — Amazon, Google, American Airlines — that signed on to the statement that states a very clear opposition to harmful legislation aimed at restricting the access of L.G.B.T.Q. people in society,” he said. “So, you know, it is bizarre that we don’t have companies standing up to this.”
that's because laws that target L.G.B.T.Q don't harm or help republicans win office in these states, so corporate America is like WTF man this is just bad PR. these new jim crow laws on the other hand will help republicans win office and corporate america sees that as good for them, so at least the bad PR has a political benefit. just don't ever think corporate america is somehow on the side of being good and decent. fukk 'em all.

Fact check: What the new Georgia elections law actually does - CNNPolitics

:patrice:

they tried to dress the bill up to not make it be blatantly :mjpls:

the food/water thing is within a 25 foot limit of a voter in line or 150 feet of a polling place

absentee ballots mailed out 29 days before election vs 49 previously (what's the point of that :mjpls: )

a lot of slick shyt in the bill that they worded to get away with shyt and not sound :mjpls:

Above the fray.
I see this move as a preemptive strike against bills that are being drafted in other state legislatures.
Yes, unfortunately the Gerrymandering chickens are coming home to roost.

I've read comments in different spaces about this open letter, many of them were dismissive. Not sure if it was cynicism or people not seeing the big picture.
