CNN
Coca-Cola CEO James Quincey is escalating his criticism against recently passed voting laws in Georgia, saying he wants to be "crystal clear and state unambiguously that we are disappointed" in the legislation.
In a new statement released Thursday, Quincey said that Coke, which is headquartered in Atlanta, has "long championed efforts to make it easier to vote" and has previously opposed legislation that "would diminish or deter access to voting." "Our focus is now on supporting federal legislation that protects voting access and addresses voter suppression across the country," Quincey said. "We all have a duty to protect everyone's right to vote, and we will continue to stand up for what is right in Georgia and across the US."
