Online retail giant Amazon recently came out against vote by mail for warehouse employees in Bessemer, Alabama set to vote on unionizing. Amazon cites issues with potential fraud in the mail-in voting process and several other reasons as justifications for their stance. Ironically enough, Amazon owns the Washington Post, which came out strongly against Trump and Trump supporters for any allegations of voting irregularities when it comes to vote-by-mail. The web hosting company Amazon Web Services (AWS) recently de-platformed the social media company “Parler” for actions in relation to vote-by-mail critique.
