United joins Delta in Criticizing Election Reform That 'Infringes on the Right to Vote'

All four major airlines have now criticized recent election reforms after United Airlines joined Delta's efforts on Monday.
"Our mission is to connect people and unite the world. We believe that one of the most effective ways to do this is to engage in the democratic process, which begins with votinga vital civic duty," United said in a statement. "America's democracy is stronger when we're all engaged, and every vote is properly counted."
"Some have questioned the integrity of the nation's election system and are using it to justify stricter voting procedures, even though numerous studies have found zero credible evidence of widespread fraud in U.S. elections. Legislation that infringes on the right to vote of fellow Americans is wrong," the statement reads. "We believe that leaders in both parties should work to protect the rights of eligible voters by making it easier and more convenient for them to cast a ballot and have it counted."
Delta, Atlanta's hometown airline and one of the largest companies in Georgia, was the first airline to come out in strong opposition of the state's new controversial election bill, which was championed by state Republicans and signed into law by Governor Brian Kemp last month.

And btw, what happened to Republicans get-the-government-off-our-backs brigade? Asking because their policies try to control our bodies, our bedroom behavior, our thoughts, our workplace rights even as they pump us full of deregulation's pollution.
There's something not seriously right on the right. Give them a mirror.
