Screw major corporations who allowed this to happen in Georgia.

What to happen?

You all are getting your knickers in a bunch about nothing. A few on the left - in politics and in media - have caused this outrage and you have to wonder if any of them actually read the bill.
The worst you have come up with is that people cannot pass out water in line and even that argument has had cold water thrown on it (pun intended).

No. The worst thing about it is the ability of the legislature to overthrow the results if they dont like them.

The banning pizza and water thing is just dickish, petty, and has no good reason

False.

Nice dissembling there!

The "nonpartisan" chair is picked by the solidly republican legislature instead of the people directly.

As for ensuring elections go "smoothly", that means they can remove an entire county election board and replace them with a handpicked superintendent.

The memo has gone out directing Democrats to use the "Jim Crow" language when speaking about this bill. (and anything else they disagree with, TBH) Maybe this is why......

Unfortunately, Democrats also appear to be engaging in election disinformation for their own political gain. Abrams’ Fair Fight voting rights group secured the JimCrow2.com domain on March 10, more than two weeks before Kemp signed SB 202 into law. Just yesterday, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki doubled down on Biden’s misleading claims about the bill, which the Washington Post fact checker had already deemed worthy of “Four Pinocchios.”

It's also morally reprehensible to pass an election reform law based on lies that does nothing but restrict citizens access to vote.

I don't see the problem with this. Facts are facts. The GOP has been doing it for years, in terms of branding and messaging that is effective.

What law would that be? Because it isn't Georgia's.

And, read the last line of this correction from the Atlanta Journal Constitution - a GA newspaper.

I think Republicans don't actually know what a mob looks like. I saw no mob at any baseball stadium today.

However, I DID see a mob attack our capitol in January.

People do not need to be given food and water as they wait to vote.

And you no doubt think that the tribe rushed thru a series of election law changes that, overall, benefited the Democrats. What an idiot! The entire motive was the tribe's move was to reduce Democratic and AA turnout. It is called changing the rules because you can't win by them.

No. They listened to their players, managers, staff and workers and arrived at a decision that they felt was in the best interest of the sport.

Baseball is as American as apple pie, right?

So is voting.

If the GOP doesn't feel they want to fully enfranchise its citizens in the state of Georgia, then business, including baseball, can make a decision in their own interests.

The GA GOP is doing this to themselves and to their state. If they want a different result, then they need to take different actions.

Remember capitalism? That is voting with dollars.

Coke, Delta, Weyerhauser, Home Depot and other large businesses including the film production industry are going to have to make some very hard decisions in the coming weeks and months in terms of how they will respond to this action.

We don't need another Jim Crow era and the way to nip it in the bud is for big business to stand with their customers.

How about the original cancel culture, the GOP cancelling the easy right of Georgia residents to vote. Take responsibility for your actions and stop blaming some nefarious mob.

No, they didn't.

When Republicans are held accountable for their actions, all they can do is bleat about cancel culture. Constituents of the party that once stood for personal responsibility - facing the consequences for the actions one takes - have devolved into a bunch of whiners. How incredibly pathetic.

Oh, honey. The social media mob has become just as dangerous as a physical mob.
But, you knew that.
