anymore! And A LOT of filming is done in Georgia and it ALL needs to come to a COMPLETE STOP! I'm sorry to those of you who live there and especially to those of you who are forced to live there (military, can't leave because of the expense of moving, etc.). It's NOT OKAY! I live in California and even though we've mainly been blue we became even bluer in 2018 because of the Orange County Republican losses because of those of us who were involved in targeting the flippable counties and we did it! I know very little about Georgia and they may be a lost cause regarding politics. I PROMISE I don't mean to sound harsh, I just seriously don't know. Having said that, the entertainment industry really needs to do the filming in blue states.....
