Hundreds of major companies and corporate leaders signed a statement released Wednesday that opposes laws that restrict voting rights, the latest step in an escalating battle over election laws being debated nationwide.
The letter included support from recognizable corporate names such as Target, Netflix, Bank of America, Facebook, Cisco, Twitter, Microsoft, Starbucks, Amazon, Mastercard, American Airlines, United Airlines and Vanguard, as well as prominent people such as investor Warren Buffett, law firms and nonprofit organizations.
But the statement was also notable for the names that were missing, including Delta Air Lines and Coca-Cola - two companies that earlier this month were among the first to oppose new voting rules in their home state of Georgia.
