Hundreds of business leaders and companies, including Amazon. com Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Netflix Inc., signed a new statement to “defend the right to vote and oppose any discriminatory legislation,” the latest corporate response to a wave of Republican-led voting bills being advanced in dozens of states.
More than 300 companies, CEOs and other executives signed on to the statement, which appeared as a full-page advertisement in the New York Times and other publications Wednesday. It was organized by Kenneth Chenault, the former chief executive of American Express Co., and Kenneth Frazier, CEO of Merck & Co.
“There is overwhelming support in corporate america for this principle of voting rights,” Mr. Chenault said. “The right to vote is fundamental to America. It is not a partisan issue.”

How long before Trump supporters and Republicans put themselves into the position of boycotting all companies in the U.S.?
The only companies they will have left to do business with will be Fox News and the pillow guy. Oh, wait. Is Fox News out? Newsmax and the pillow guy, then?
