Here's why Ted Cruz (and others) are talking about Coca-Cola FacebookTwitterEmail The GOP is choosing Pepsi over Coke, at least for a while. Several GOP lawmakers are calling for a boycott of Coca-Cola after the Atlanta-based soda giant spoke out against Georgia's Senate Bill 202. SB 202 requires absentee voters in Georgia to use their driver's license, state ID, voter card or last four digits of their social security number to verify their identity when returning an absentee ballot. Voters also have to request an absentee ballot by 11 days before an election -- most counties allowed requests up until the Friday before Election Day. The bill also limits the use of ballot drop-off boxes and prohibits passing out water or food to those waiting in line to vote.
