These 16 companies are funding the GOP's war on voting

The Republican National Committee has filed suit to making it harder to vote during the pandemic.

The Republican National Committee has filed a lawsuit to stop California from making it easier for citizens to vote by mail during the pandemic, part of a massive $20 million effort to undermine voting rights.

More than a dozen U.S. corporations are helping bankroll that effort.

The suit — filed Sunday by the RNC, the National Republican Congressional Committee, and the California Republican Party — challenges an decision by Gov. Gavin Newsom to automatically send a mail-in ballot to the state's registered voters for the November general election.

Newsom said the move was needed to protect public health during a pandemic.

As I was going thru the list I wonder if Boeing and Lockheed remember this:

1. Article is a bit misleading

The article does not produce evidence that the donations to the RNC are for the specific purpose of fighting voting by mail.

They are merely large donors to the RNC.

Money quote:

The RNC functions on donations from some of the country's biggest corporations, through their corporate political action committees. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, so far in the 2020 campaign the committee has received at least $985,000 total from 16 large companies and trade associations.

It would not surprise me if many of these same organizations make contributions to the DNC as well.

2. I'll grant you that, but after all, the RNC is not known as a benevolent organization in any way.

To paraphrase a saying, anyone who funds my enemy is my enemy...
