"Will Smith and director Antoine Fuqua have pulled production of their runaway slave drama “Emancipation” from Georgia over the state’s recently enacted law restricting voting access.


The film is the largest and most high profile Hollywood production to depart the state since Georgia’s Republican-controlled state Legislature passed a law that introduced stiffer voter identification requirements for absentee balloting, limited drop boxes and gave the State Election Board new powers to intervene in county election offices and to remove and replace local election officials. Opponents have said the law is designed to reduce the impact of minority voters."




Another big financial hit for Georgia over a policy that most people haven't even read yet. The people being hurt the most by this move and the MLB All Star game are the minority communities. This is hurting them more than the voting regulations.

It makes you wonder how many $120 million hits is Georgia willing to take to promote racism instead of Democracy. Will Smith will not be the only filmmaker who will refuse to film there. That is a lot of local employment lost because of bigoted idiots in the Legislature.

You keep on parroting the same lies told to you by the Left. It has already been shown many times that the GA law has nothing to do with race and actually better ensures that democracy is not undermined through fraudulent voting.

He’s moving production to Louisiana.

Which doesn’t allow no-excuse voting by mail.

Which has far fewer advance voting days.

Which has zero vote drop boxes.

But of course he’s protesting against the Georgia law.

You can’t make this stuff up.
