Voting is the backbone of democracy, but it has become increasingly difficult to cast a ballot in the United States. Many Americans, especially low-wage workers and parents with less control over their schedules, have long said that missing work to get to the polls on Election Day is a major obstacle to voting.
We don’t dictate how much time each company has to provide – this movement is not prescriptive because we know there’s not one fit for every company. Some states have laws that require employers to provide time off to vote. CEOs of companies in states that don’t, or in states where voting early or by mail is more difficult, have a particular responsibility to help their employees get to the polls.
weren't Georgia voting rates the highest on record in the last election? do you all report facts or just political views?
Um..... no, it hasn't.
Republicans want to hinder voters so that they can win
Oh BS
Poll are generally open 6am to 8pm. Absentee ballots are readily available. At the very worst an employee can take PTO or vote on their lunch break. Anyone who is motivated to vote has ample opportunity.
Get an ID and register, it’s that easy.
Republicans need to have watchers at every polling station they need to have a team of lawyers on standby illegal ballots rigged voting machines criminals voting illegal aliens voting dead people voting people voting multiple times the democrats wrote the book on cheating
Yeah, you have to register and go to a polling station to vote, unless you are feeble in which case you vote by mailing absentee ballot. And some states require photo ID? A vegitable having problem doing that should not be voting.

When Dems think they may lose, they start with the voter suppression excuse. They are preemptively sowing seeds of doubt for the midterm election.
Baloney. Voting integrity begins with voter verification.
CNN is trying to mislead the Viewers on voter Restrictions. A federal Court in Georgia looked at the claim by Stacey Abrams of Voter Suppression among Black Voters. A Obama Appointment Federal Judge found Black Voting is “up and found no Bases for this claim”
It hasn’t, this statement is completely unfounded. It’s just as easy to vote as it’s ever been. Easier actually.
Garbage. It takes 10 minutes
I thought more people voted in the last presidential election than ever before?
