Surry County has voted to ban all Coca-Cola vending machines in its office buildings over backlash to the Atlanta-based soft drink maker’s criticism of new restrictive Georgia voting laws. “The left wing in America, they defund, they boycott, they cancel, they tear down statues – all sorts of egregious actions,” Eddie Harris, a county commissioner, told WXII in a video interview. It’s not clear how many vending machines there were in county buildings in Surry, which has roughly 73,000 residents in the northern part of the state. Surry County’s Board of Commissioners voted 3-2 to remove the vending machines. A bottling company called Coca-Cola Consolidated separate from Coca-Cola told WXII it was looking to set up a meeting with the commissioners.
