6. There are SIX DAYS left in Georgia's legislative session. The direction of the state, and perhaps the country, hangs in the balance Sign up for the newsletter for updates and accountability journalism https://t.co/TfpCItdVSo — PolitiTweet.org

@aflac 5. @CocaCola says "Voting is a foundational right in America, and we will continue to work to advance voting rights and access in Georgia" Does SB 202 "advance voting rights" or not? There is no time left. https://t.co/YoMOBN63sI — PolitiTweet.org

4. A week ago @aflac, for example, said it would not support any legislation that does not "make voting easy and accessible for every eligible voter" So now Aflac needs to take a position. Does it support this bill? https://t.co/ZpW1A3crpQ — PolitiTweet.org

3. The bill that is barreling toward the Governor's desk would impose new ID requirements on absentee ballots, severely restrict the use of drop boxes, curtail early voting for runoffs, and criminalize giving water to people waiting in line to vote https://t.co/8NZdOu8Z0F — PolitiTweet.org

@CocaCola @Delta @UPS @aflac @HomeDepot @SouthernCompany 2. The Georgia Chamber, which represents these companies, said it stood in "opposition" to provisions in Republican proposals that "restrict or diminish voter access" The implication was they'd push to get those provisions removed. That didn't happen https://t.co/Hp99Zjugua — PolitiTweet.org

UPDATE: The Georgia General Assembly has passed a sweeping bill to restrict voting. It now heads back to the Georgia Senate. It's now a critical moment for corporations like @CocaCola, @Delta, @UPS, @Aflac, @HomeDepot and @SouthernCompany https://t.co/8NZdOu8Z0F — PolitiTweet.org

When you donate to the @NRSC, as @Cigna did last month, you not only support officials who voted to overturn the election, you also fund advertisements attacking efforts to expand voting rights https://t.co/17cAHvON1H — PolitiTweet.org

@mattyglesias I think this is the most common misconception about CRT. It arose from a critique of things like affirmative action and now people on the right and left just assume CRT is about whatever they don’t like. — PolitiTweet.org

@Heritage Here is the article about the Georgia House passing a bill that Heritage claims conservatives would never dream of supporting because they love democracy so much: https://t.co/FxmlmWPxZa — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

@ddale8 That provision passed the Georgia House. It's been dropped from the various omnibus bills under consideration. https://t.co/q8JPf8L6OG — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

The Georgia House, with support from @Heritage, passed a bill to limit early voting to one Sunday but it dropped the provision after protests from civil rights groups. Now Heritage is trying to pretend it never happened and that conservatives would never support such a bill. https://t.co/scyHIaI4pc — PolitiTweet.org

@ddale8 It passed the Georgia House! — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

Republicans Georgia House did pass legislation, backed by @Heritage, to limit early voting to one Sunday and then dropped it after civil rights groups protested. Now Heritage is trying to pretend this never happened and conservatives would never support such legislation. https://t.co/fUjc4m9gUp — PolitiTweet.org

@MikeMadden Yeah it's this second point that I'm talking about. I think DC absolutely did the right thing by vaccinating those folks! But in the interest of fairness, DC should be getting more shots since we are lessening the burden on MD/VA and reducing our own supply. — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

Seems like it would be helpful to have a few elected representatives in Congress to advocate for DC! But right now DC is accelerating vaccinations for Maryland and Virginia residents and DC folks will just have to wait longer. — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

Vaccines are allocated by population but DC used many of its jabs to vaccinate people who work in DC but live elsewhere So fewer DC residents have gotten shots The feds and neighboring states aren't making up the difference Nationally 25% have gotten one shot. In DC its 16.4% https://t.co/V2fvL9j7TH — PolitiTweet.org
