Representatives from the Augusta NAACP also called on changes to the law at the protest at Washington and Berckmans roads. The bill, political action chair Jorae Jenkins said, makes it difficult for people to vote because of changes to absentee ballots. Moving the Masters is not necessarily the goal, she said, but for corporations to remove sponsorships.
"Other major organizations have come out and take a stand against this bill," she said. "It would be nice to see people that are here that are sponsors to do the same thing and that they agree that this bill is not right and we have to take a stand."
