The narrative is being played out They want to ensure no other popilist outsider will ever attempt to run for President They want to ensure that voter fraud will always ensure democrats win or have a substantial influence.
None of them including Divider In Chief are ponting oit exactly how votes are being suppressed.
But why grin
You and your conspiracy theories. Whether republican or Democrats, these companies are still making tons of cash.

They are only pointing out the obvious and right thing to do.

Yes.
LG only appeals to a particular set of users, and this is not enough to make the company viable.

Anyway, the crux of the matter is that the voting laws by some backward politicians in Georgia was set up to disenfranchise voters. Simple as ABC.

On the bright side, Americans are very resilient people. These law would even propel or spur them to go out to vote. It's now very glaring that large voters turnout as seen in the last election is the nemesis of the GOP.


https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/31/major-us-companies-take-aim-at-georgias-new-voting-restrictions.html

Global asset manager BlackRock issued a statement Wednesday on LinkedIn. "Equal access to voting is the very foundation of American democracy. While BlackRock appreciates the importance of maintaining election integrity and transparency, these should not be used to restrict equal access to the polls. BlackRock is concerned about efforts that could limit access to the ballot for anyone. Voting should be easy and accessible for ALL eligible voters. Voting is not just a right, but a vital component of civil activity. We should encourage all eligible voters to play this essential role in our democracy," CEO Larry Fink wrote.

Coca-Cola executive Alfredo Rivera said in a statement the company, which is headquartered in Georgia, is disappointed by the law. "As soon as Georgia's legislature convened this year, our company joined with other Georgia businesses to share our core principles: We opposed measures that would seek to diminish or restrict voter access and we advocated for broad access, voter convenience, election integrity and political neutrality. Anything that inhibits these principles can lead to voter suppression. We took these steps because they align to our Purpose and the conscience we follow," he said.

Georgia-based Delta airlines said in a memo to employees that the "final bill is unacceptable and does not match Delta's values." "After having time to now fully understand all that is in the bill, coupled with discussions with leaders and employees in the Black community, it's evident that the bill includes provisions that will make it harder for many underrepresented voters, particularly Black voters, to exercise their constitutional right to elect their representatives. That is wrong," CEO Ed Bastian said.

Pharmaceutical giant Merck said Wednesday that the company stands "strong on our core values including our commitment to social justice and the right of people to fully and freely participate in electoral processes." "There is no more fundamental right than the right to vote. Democracy rests on ensuring that every eligible voter has an equal and fair opportunity to cast a ballot, free from restrictions that have a discriminatory impact. We all have an obligation to stand up against racism and other forms of discrimination whenever we see them," the company added.

Porsche's North American operations, headquartered in Georgia, said that "equal access to the polls for every voter is core to a democracy." "As an Atlanta-based business, Porsche Cars North America (PCNA) supported the work of the Metro Atlanta Chamber with members of the Georgia General Assembly to maximize voter participation and ensure election integrity. We understand the legislative outcome remains subject to debate and hope a resolution can be found between all sides that encourages and enables every eligible vote," the company said.

Georgia-based UPS said this week the company supports the ability and facilitation of all eligible voters to exercise their right to vote. "Like other businesses in the community, we actively engaged with political leaders in both parties and other stakeholders to advocate for more equitable access to the polls and for integrity in the election process across the state. We echo the statement by the Metro Atlanta Chamber and stand ready to continue to help in ensuring every Georgia voter has the ability to vote," the company said.

Mercedes-Benz said that it "stands against efforts which discourage eligible voters to participate in this vital process."

In a blog post, Microsoft President Brad Smith noted the company expressed concern about the law prior to its passage and laid out its opposition in further detail, such as narrowing the window of time voters can request an absentee ballot. "We recognize that some recent criticisms of Georgia's legislation have proven inaccurate. But already, it's clear to us that the new law contains important provisions that needlessly and unfairly make it more difficult for people to vote," Smith wrote. "This new law falls short of the mark, and we should work together to press the Georgia legislature to change it," he added.

Brian Moynihan, chairman and CEO of Bank of America, told CNBC in a statement that ensuring equal voting access is aligned with the company's investments in reducing racial inequality and increasing economic opportunity. "The right to vote – and the vital work that must be done to protect access to that right – is a fundamental principle in the United States," he said. "Our history in fact is punctuated by the moments when we expanded that right to those to whom it had been denied too long. We must continue to right the wrongs of our past, and stand united in our advocacy for equal voting rights for all."

Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins shared his concern for the new law in a tweet. "Our vote is our voice, and everyone deserves the opportunity to be heard. Governments should be working to make it easier to vote, not harder. Ensuring equal #VotingRights isn't a political issue, it's an issue of right and wrong," he said.

Home Depot, which is headquartered in Georgia, said that it will work to ensure its workers across the country have the resources and information to vote. "We believe that all elections should be accessible, fair and secure and support broad voter participation."

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said in a statement that "voting is fundamental to the health and future of our democracy," calling out restrictive election laws. "JPMorgan Chase employees span the United States and as state capitals debate election laws, we believe voting must be accessible and equitable. 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. We are a stronger country when every citizen has a voice and a vote," the company said. CNN first reported on the statement.

Citigroup said it strongly opposes "efforts to undermine the ability of Americans to avail themselves of this fundamental right."

In a LinkedIn post, American Express CEO Steve Squeri complimented the new effort co-led by the company's former chairman and chief executive, Ken Chenault, to spur corporate America stand up for voting rights. "As a company and leadership team, we support this message and stand against any efforts to suppress voting which is a fundamental right that belongs to all Americans," Squeri wrote.

Facebook said that the company supports "making voting as accessible and broad-based as possible" and that it opposes "efforts to make it harder for people to vote."

ViacomCBS said it believes "in the importance of all Americans having an equal right to vote and oppose the recent Georgia voting rights law or any effort that impedes the ability to exercise this vital constitutional right. Increasing voter access and civic engagement is one of ViacomCBS' core social impact pillars and we will continue to educate the public on the importance of an open and fair voting system through our programming and extensive partnerships with grassroots organizations that promote and increase participation in elections."

You are just trying to twist the English language to fit your narrative.

Do I need an ID to vote in a Canadian election in the province of Saskatchewan?
The answer is NO.

Someone can vouch for me, but my answer to the first question is still NO.

undecided you are showing something right? That's your identification. The first one you ever got was your birth certificate.

You know someone who works at the polling station? That someone can identify you. I don't think Bill gates shows ID before he enters the Microsoft building. They all know him by face.

If you go to a poll and no worker know who you are. You will need to provide some form of identification. Period
No.

Me showing an envelope with a civic address on it is not an ID document. It may show my address but does not identify me as a person.

We would never agree on this.

No it doesn't. Read again.

I just need to know the election official as an acquaintance or friend, else I can just show my civic or mailing address. Note the "may, If and or".

Knowing the election official, or showing my civic or mailing addresses are not ID

That "someone" might not decide to vote. That someone may not have an ID. You are just making things up.

To be an eligible voter, you only need to be on the voters register which you can get yourself on if you are Canadian and you have already filed at least one tax.

Still which part No ID do you not understand?

1: The site clearly stated you need an ID to vote.
2: if you don't have an ID you can't just walk in and vote.
3: someone who has an ID must vouch for you. So they are still Identifying you.

Questions:
1: can you just walk in to the Sask poll and vote without being identified?

2: can someone without an ID identity you?

3: if no one has ID and ID is not required, why does the page says "An eligible voter " will vouch for you.

Do you have to be a tool for the left? You are deliberately spreading lies.
All this explanation just for a two word sentence "No ID"

No ID means I (emphasis on I, I as a person) do not need an ID to vote.

English is really hard for some.

Coz I know that on g7 and v40 you can't switch to wide angle camera while recording even in auto mode, of which they brought back the feature in g8 & v50, but I don't know if you can switch in manual video mode while recording on the g8 & others on Android 9 & 10.

This is coming a bit late. I just tried this on my LG V60 with stock camera. It's running Android 11 and it's possible. I was able to switch between Wide and normal while video recording. On my phone, I no longer have the icon for wide angle, but I can zoom in or out using pinch from x0.5(wide angle) to x10.

My wife uses LG G8 running on Android 10. I will check her phone when she is home to see if the feature works.
