Apple's Tim Cook joins chorus in denouncing Georgia’s voting law

Company is latest to speak out against law that restricts voting access in the state that was passed last week

Apple chief executive Tim Cook joined the chorus of business leaders who have come out in support of voting rights in light of voting restrictions Georgia's governor signed into law last week.

The right to vote is fundamental in a democracy. American history is the story of expanding the right to vote to all citizens, and Black people, in particular, have had to march, struggle and even give their lives for more than a century to defend that right," Cook said in a statement to Axios.
