Guest column: The business case for democracy
Your turn
On the heels of a record-setting election turnout and an election free of any substantive voter fraud, Republicans in Georgia enacted new legislation that can be best described as voter suppression. That the bill was premised on the big lie of a stolen election, makes its passage all the more insidious. Republicans did not like the outcome of the last elections in Georgia. Who likes to be on the losing side? But instead of figuring out how to better appeal to voters, Republicans have chosen the path of reducing voter access to the ballot box. This has provoked predictable outrage. Several major corporations have now joined the fray. United Airlines summarized it succinctly, “Legislation that infringes on the right to vote of fellow Americans is wrong.”

As of the writing of this blog, COVID-19 cases in the US alone are well over 30 million with over half a million deaths according to CDC
data. This pandemic has altered business practices and has a profound effect on workplace safety and the economy. Thankfully, the available COVID-19 vaccines have shown to be at least 94% effective against severe disease and death and will reduce the possibilities for virus mutation. While we still need to practice prevention strategies (distancing, hand washing, monitoring, and mask wearing), improving vaccination rates will allow businesses to resume operations and minimize lost time due to worker illness.
