Took me about 15 seconds to find. Did you look for it and couldn't find it, or just didn't want to know?
i looked for several minutes and didn't find anything to back up your claim. hilariously, you didn't find anything either. remember? or have you already forgotten what you claimed?

I think it's more a matter of these large corporations wanting to be on the right side of history. The long term value of their brands dictate their actions.
Oh, I see: these commissioners and CEOs can see the future, a future where people will look favorably on a decision they made regarding a Georgia election law that most people likely don't even know or care much about in the present day, never mind decades from now. Well that's......I don't know what that is.
Look at the qualifier in the Section 33(a) header:
"Section 33
Said chapter is further amended by revising subsections (a) and (e) of Code Section 21-2-414, relating to restrictions on campaign activities and public opinion polling within the vicinity of a polling place, cellular phone use prohibited, prohibition of candidates from entering certain polling places, and penalty, as follows:"
The restrictions in 33(a) regarding food and drink apply only to those who are engaging in campaign activities (electioneering) and public opinion polling.
It's basic English. What stumped you?
I thought when I posted the contents of the section, that would be enough context but somehow people can STILL pull one sentence out and get it wrong.
Well this is sad to see. Can't say I'm surprised MLB caved to the woke left... Hopefully the numbers tank this year (regarding how many people watch it).
So your happy with the legislature whether it be republican or democratic having a larger role in elections, you want the legislature to nominate the election official that may cast the deciding vote in certification of the election results. That is a terribly partisan procedure and you could imagine what would have happened in 2020 in the swing states.
yet this has not been the issue wailed about by the Dems and the media. Did MLB cite this part of the law as why they were taking the game? Have the Dems wailed about this part?
Of course not.
And so, you - and all of us - might actually have a problem with an actual part of the law.
It's just not as headline-grabbing as "the Republicans want people to die from dehydration!!11!!!"

It's one that I specifically mentioned. And I learned that from hearing others mention it, and then confirmed by reading the actual bill. So I think you may be somewhat off on that statement.

People turned out in record numbers in 2020 so your contention that people don't care in the present day is incorrect. And that's precisely what has sparked all these new laws all of a sudden. The GQP can't win when a lot of people vote, as we saw last November.
Consumers will look favorably upon corporations that don't support a return to Jim Crow type laws, which is what we see popping up across the country right now.
So yes, I do believe this is what they're thinking about both short and long term. As they should be, because the generations coming up behind the old MAGAs and Tea Partiers is much more open-minded and diverse. Like it or not, the world progresses. (Which is bad news for the GQP).

One thing I gotta admire about leftists is that they're so darned sure of themselves. Everything they do or support is "the right side of history." The corollary, of course, is that everything conservatives do or support is the wrong side of history and destined to be consigned to history's ashbin. Personally, I think that making our elections more secure is the right thing to do, and history will judge accordingly. Guess we'll have to wait and see on that one.

nothing there about mcconnell calling on his base to boycott businesses that don't support their agenda.

yeah, i know what he said. that's how i knew you lied
have you been taking lessons from president zho?
from the links, the only call for a boycott was from Trump.
A group of Georgia Republicans in their Legislature asked for Coke to be removed from the office building.
