Atlanta, Georgia-based Coca-Cola, which has been in the news often over the last month for its efforts at diversifying its workforce and embracing more progressive corporate values, is under fire from progressives after left-leaning journalists discovered it donated to Republicans seeking to pass new Georgia voting restrictions.
“Republican lawmakers in March passed a bill in the state Senate that would eliminate no-excuse absentee voting, and in the House that would limit weekend early voting, increase ID requirements for absentee voting and restrict ballot drop boxes: SB 241 and HB 531,” CNBC reported, citing Georgia officials who believe that the state’s permissive absentee voting laws contributed to widespread voter fraud in both the 2020 presidential election and a 2021 Senate runoff election.
