More GOP-led states risk corporate backlash like Georgia's
By Alex Gangitano - 04/03/21 12:16 PM EDT


The corporate backlash against Georgia's new voting law is putting other states on alert.

Texas, Florida and Arizona are among the Republican-led states considering similar legislation, setting the stage for potential clashes with companies headquartered there.

Industry experts are closely watching how things unfold in Georgia to see whether there is a boycott and loss of business similar to North Carolina's “bathroom bill” from 2016. That picture became more clear on Friday when Major League Baseball announced it won’t hold this year’s All-Star Game in Georgia as initially planned.

Companies in Texas are already weighing in on a bill making its way through the state legislature that would limit early voting hours and broaden the authority of partisan poll watchers.

If these corporations want to be "woke"... then... too bad.

These other states had better not be afraid to put laws into place that thwart the election stealing.

Otherwise, the Republicans will have little chance of winning in them again, as the demo-communist underground election apparatus is already "in place and known to work" in those states.

If anything, I'd consider the Georgia law "milquetoast at best".
These election reform laws should be TOUGHER than the Georgia law.
