maybe in China but in the USA it does...at least for nowHypocrites.
It's so important to protect the sanctity of our shareholders and keep the riff raff out, but, the sanctity of your vote is not important to us.
Coca-Cola required ID in 2020 shareholder meeting, but slams Georgia for voter ID law

Coca-Cola has released a statement condemning Georgia’s new voting legislation, but the company requires valid ID to be admitted to its annual meeting of shareholders.
“At the entrance to the meeting, we will verify your registration and request to see your admission ticket and a valid form of photo identification, such as a driver’s license or passport,” the company wrote in reference to its 2020 annual meeting of shareholders, held before the coronavirus pandemic.
Georgia’s new voting law requires a drivers’ license or state ID number be listed to submit an absentee ballot to vote, among other new reforms. The state already required ID to vote in person. It had previously relied on signature matching to verify ballots.
Coca-Cola is based in Atlanta. This week, the beverage company, among other Georgia-based companies, issued statements condemning the new legislation after threats of boycott.
I suppose a Coca-Cola board meeting is a right then.
Voting is a right. To ensure that right, maintaining integrity and reducing the risk of compromise must be an ongoing process. Providing State-issued identification is a step in that direction. Look how many other facets of our lives where we have rights and must provide state-issued identification and validation. Why the resistance when it comes to voting?
problem is, the whole system lacks integrity.
When you vote, your vote should count the same as everyone else's, but it doesn't.
No, it doesn't.
Gerrymandering in House elections, weighted nonsense in Presidential elections.... it's all a con. And the FPTP is the worst of all. Making so many votes count for NOTHING.
Many Americans are not comfortable with lax voter authentication. A judge just ruled in Michigan that the Michigan Secretary of State was unlawful in the 2020 Elections waived the signature verification requirement. Her actions exposed a vulnerability that could have left many votes count for nothing; or, a bad situation worse.
So, voters "are not comfortable with lax voter authentication" but they're perfectly happy with the rich stealing elections with gerrymandering and other tactics.
Nice.
It's like pigs complaining that their truck to the slaughterhouse is a little uncomfortable.
