Georgia GOP Legislators Seek to Remove Coca Cola Products From Office Amid Voting Law Row

April 5, 2021



A group of Republican legislators from  Georgia is seeking to remove all Coca-Cola Company products from their  offices after the company's top executive came out against the state's  newly enacted election law.

The eight GOP state House representatives sent a letter to Kevin Perry, president and CEO of the Georgia Beverage Association, requesting that the products be removed from their offices immediately in response to Coca Cola's participation in the campaign to "cancel" the Peach State. The lawmakers characterized the beverage giant's move to criticize  the law as an intentional attempt to mislead Georgian residents and  further divide the state. "We have the responsibility to all of Georgia to not engage in those  misguided intentions nor continue to support corporations who choose  to," the lawmakers wrote in their letter that was dated April 3... we respectfully request all Coca-Cola Company products be  removed from our office suite immediately."

Seriously, the acids in cola is what damages your teeth

That election saw a number of states implemented changes to  voting regulations and procedures to expand mail-in voting that were  said to ensure that voting access wasn't limited by the pandemic. While Democrats, some civil rights activists, and other critics say  the law would disproportionately impact minority groups' access to  voting, Georgia officials say the law seeks to streamline vote-counting procedures, ensure election integrity and legal votes, and includes some provisions to expand voting access. The 95-page law adds a slew of changes to the way Georgians vote,  including requiring photo or state-approved identification to vote  absentee by mail. The law also mandates that secure drop boxes be placed  inside early voting locations with constant surveillance, and expands  early voting across the state. The law also shortens the election cycle from nine weeks to four  weeks and requires a minimum of one week of early voting before election  day. "Free and fair elections are the foundation of who we are as a state  and a nation. Secure, accessible, fair elections are worth the threats,  they are worth the boycotts, as well as the lawsuits," Kemp told  reporters during a press conference on April 3. "I want to be clear. I will not be backing down from this fight, and neither are the people who are here with me today." Meanwhile, the corporate backlash has been met by calls for counteraction ... including former President  Donald Trump, who is urging Republicans and conservatives to stand firm  and to hold their own boycott against the companies seeking to "cancel" Georgia.  Read more ...
