'We are strongly opposed': American Airlines blasts Texas election integrity law

American Airlines publicly slammed Republican lawmakers in Texas in response to the passage of an election integrity bill the airline claims would “limit voting access.”

“Earlier this morning, the Texas state Senate passed legislation with provisions that limit voting access,” the Fort Worth, Texas, based airline said in a statement Thursday. “To make American’s stance clear: We are strongly opposed to this bill and others like it.”

“Any legislation dealing with how elections are conducted must ensure ballot integrity and security while making it easier to vote, not harder,” the statement continued. “At American, we believe we should break down barriers to diversity, equity and inclusion in our society – not create them.”
