Leaders of major corporations have spoken out against a
Georgia electoral reform law with an identification requirement for absentee
ballots, even though those same companies require valid photo identification to
access services. that their companies provide.
After Georgia's Republican Governor Brian Kemp signed into
law the bill passed by the Republican state legislature on March 25, the heads
of Peach state-based corporations, including the leaders of Delta Airlines and
Coca -Cola, they spoke out against the law, which is fervently opposed by
national and state Democratic leaders.
Democratic messages against the law focus on the alleged
racially discriminatory implications of requiring a valid voter ID in order to
vote by mail. President Joe Biden criticized the law as an
"atrocity", likening it to "Jim Crow in the 21st century."
Meanwhile, seventy-two black executives signed an open letter calling on their
corporate brothers to oppose Georgia's "anti-American"
"assault" on the "fundamental principles of our democracy."
