Opinion: The Arizona Cardinals’ owner joined nearly 40 other business leaders opposing a wave of anti-democracy bills in the Legislature
By EJ Montini | Arizona Republic
A group of prominent Arizona business executives has told state lawmakers they are outraged by the vile slurry of voter-suppression bills swirling around the copper-domed commode on West Washington Street and they want the proposals flushed.
Either that, or these same business leaders are afraid that some of their own businesses could go down the toilet, having taken note of what is happening in Georgia, where citizens outraged by legislative voter-suppression efforts are calling for boycotts of Georgia-based companies who did not more actively try to stop it.
Either way, it’s a good thing.
There’s no evidence of a problem
The business leaders in Arizona sent a message to lawmakers saying they agreed with an editorial that appeared in the Capitol Times under the headline “Disenfranchising Voters is not ‘Election Reform’ ”.
They point to three Senate bills, SB 1485, SB 1593 and SB 1713.
All bad. All aimed at either making it difficult for people to vote. Or making it impossible.
