Georgia Looses Another…

Since Governor Kemp signed a restrictive voting bill geared a limiting the votes of blacks in Georgia, advertisers and those with commercial interest in the state have steadily removed their business in protest. Will Smith and Antoine Fuqua are among the latest.

Antoine Fuqua and Will Smith will move production on their big-budget, runaway slave thriller “Emancipation” out of Georgia in protest over the state’s controversial new voting restrictions.

The announcement continues the economic fallout from Gov. Brian Kemp and the state legislature’s decision to pass new regulations that critics maintain amount to voter suppression, aimed at reducing the turnout of people of color. The new laws were passed in the wake of former President Donald Trump’s unfounded claims of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election, and after Georgia voted for a Democrat for president for the first time in decades. The rules shorten the duration of absentee voting, require absentee voters to produce identification, limit the use of drop boxes and make it a crime to hand out free food or water to voters standing in line.

I'm just tired of the lies and nonsense coming from the GOP, so this is my little contribution to combat the nonsense!
