Jamie Dimon forcefully defends the right to vote as states debate voter depression

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon is speaking out in defense of voting rights in the wake of Georgia's restrictive voting law and as other battleground states consider similar actions.

The company's "employees span the United States and as state capitals debate election laws, we believe voting must be accessible and equitable," Dimon said in a statement provided exclusively to CNN Business.

"We regularly encourage our employees to exercise their fundamental right to vote, and we stand against efforts that may prevent them from being able to do so," the JPMorgan CEO said. The company has more than 250,000 employees around the world.

Dimon's comments stand in contrast to the relative silence from major business groups and CEOs after Georgia passed a new law last week that civil rights and voting rights groups see as a concerted effort to suppress Black and other voters of color.

1. Dang, sometimes people just surprise me.

I'll take all of these kinds of surprises the world wants to give me. It helps build me up for when I have to read about someone else's sheer stupidity. This was a good surprise.
