'We are strongly opposed': American Airlines blasts Texas election integrity law
It has been a slow, lean year for airlines, but now they have government contracts to fly illegals for the Democrat socialists occupying the capitol. These airlines require a photo ID, a mask and right to search to board their aircraft, but they have waived this for certain government sponsored and paid for travelers.
American Airlines in Texas has just echoed Delta in Georgia. I wonder what percentage of their seat sales are to the government for illegal undocumented future Democrats. For the right amount amount of money, they will say anything,,,,JMO
'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.”
The legislation in question, known as SB 7, passed the Texas Senate early Thursday via a vote of 18-13 and would increase certain voting safeguards, including tightening up the vote by mail process.
The bill would also ban drive-thru voting and prohibit local election officials from automatically sending vote-by-mail applications to voters.
“Maintaining the integrity of our elections is vital to preserving public trust so our democracy can flourish, and that’s why I have made election security a top priority again this legislative session,” Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said in a statement. “SB 7 will strengthen the public’s faith in our electoral process and ensure that every Texan knows that when they cast their ballot, their vote is secure."
The bill will now head to the Texas House of Representatives before making its way to the desk of Republican Gov. Greg Abbott.
The statement from American Airlines comes the same week the CEO of Delta Airlines excoriated Georgia lawmakers in an email to employees in response to a new election integrity law that Democrats have labeled as restrictive.
Republican lawmakers in the state's House of Representatives responded to the rebuke by advancing legislation that would strip the Atlanta, Georgia, based airline of a tax break on jet fuel.
