Corporate squeezes upend politics of voting rights: The Note
It's a debate that's fundamental to democracy, and it's playing out at the state and federal levels in much different directions.
But it may not be possible at this moment to even have a true debate over voting rights. The politics of the issue has been upended in recent days - and if there's a squeeze on corporate entities, the folks at Major League Baseball might know a thing or two about that.
The belated condemnation of Georgia's new voting law - capped by MLB's decision to pull the All-Star Game ติดต่อ slotxo from Atlanta this summer - shows how major businesses are calculating that neither silence nor nuance works on the most charged and polarizing issues of the day.
Speaking of lack of nuance, former President Donald Trump is back in the conversation, calling for the very boycotts some progressives favored just a few days ago. Discussion of the right to vote is now mixed up with conservative cries of "cancel culture" and calls for scrutiny on corporate relationships with China.
Trump is engaging while continuing to peddle falsehoods about the last election. But even some prominent supporters who have refused to go there are slamming President Joe Biden for exaggerating the potential impact of Georgia's law.
"He is lying to cause racial divisions in this country," Chris Christie, the former New Jersey governor and ABC News contributor, said of Biden on ABC's "This Week" Sunday.
States including Iowa, Georgia, Kentucky, New Jersey and Virginia have already settled on new voting laws, with outcomes that reflect the different states' political tint. But the debate is hot and could easily become overheated in states including Texas, Arizona and Florida, as well as in Congress, where the House-passed voting bill awaits Senate action.
Big businesses are off the sidelines. But the rules of the game may be changing. |
