*Major corporations gave more than $6 million to state lawmakers who
support voter suppression legislation.*

*By Jessica Goodheart*

*On the heels of President Joe Biden’s speech*warning of an existential threat to American democracy, voting rights advocacy organization Accountable.US today unveiled a scorecard that grades the nation’s top
100 corporations on their support for democracy. The “American Democracy Scorecard <https://www.americandemocracyscorecard.org/#scores>” did not
grade on a curve: Two-thirds of the companies received failing marks.

The lowest scorer, according to the group’s criteria, was AT&T, followed
by Verizon. Charter Communications and Comcast were also among the 10
lowest scorers. All four belong to the telecommunications industry,
which received the scorecard’s lowest ranking among all industries.
