LINK McConnell demands corporate silence on GOP voter-suppression efforts
Several major domestic airlines have taken stands in support of voting rights in recent days, and yesterday, they were joined by United Airlines. "Legislation that infringes on the right to vote of fellow Americans is wrong," the company said as part of a written statement.
For Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), this and other recent statements like it have become a thorn in his party's side. As Reuters reported yesterday, the Republican Party's top senator has felt compelled to engage in public pushback against his ostensible corporate allies.

Georgia now require two IDs (although I doubt two IDs will be enforced for whites), eliminated early voting on Sunday because the blacks would rent buses to transport people from church to voting polls, eliminated 75% of the voter drop boxes in urban (black) areas, and made it illegal to offer food or water to people waiting to vote, when in 2020 some people waited more than 13 hours in line... and a lot more to discourage or prevent (mostly blacks) from voting
