Dueling Boycotts Face Off In Georgia Voting Law Battle

Republican leaders including former President Donald Trump have called on their supporters to boycott companies criticizing Georgia, Texas and other states over Republicans' controversial new voting laws. Most recently, Major League Baseball pulled its annual All-Star Game from Georgia, saying, "Major League Baseball...opposes restrictions to the ballot box." In total, nearly 200 companies have issued statements in opposition to the Georgia law, including Google, Apple, JPMorgan Chase, American Express, Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines, and more. Coverage of Trump's boycott call was widespread across the spectrum on Sunday. Coverage in left-rated outlets mentioned Texas Republicans' voting bill and referred to the voting laws as "bills that place restrictions on voting" and "Georgia's new sweeping election law that imposes significant new obstacles to voting." Coverage in right-rated outlets referred to the voting laws as "election reform" and "a comprehensive new law aimed at securing the state’s elections."
