New York (CNN Business) Opponents of a law that changed voting rules in Georgia are calling for boycotts of high-profile Georgia based companies, including Delta, Coca-Cola and Home Depot. But that statement sparked backlash among bill opponents, who said Delta's comments were too supportive of the bill — highlighting the public-relations minefield the companies find themselves in. While being more forceful in his criticism, Quincey stopped short of attributing racist motivations to the passing of the bill. Pressure from outside and withinExperts agree that calls for boycotts generally have very limited impact on companies' sales and profits. An executive with one of the Georgia companies targeted for action — who spoke on the condition that she and her company not be identified — defended her employer's efforts to change the legislation.
