More than 100 corporate leaders met on a mega-conference call Saturday in order to coordinate opposition to changes in state voting laws like the ones made in Georgia, according to The Washington Post, and mocked Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell who warned a number of corporations, last week, to stay out of politics.

The group, organized in part by Yale management professor Jeffrey Sonnenfeld and the “Coalition for Inclusive Capitalism,” the “Chief Executive Leadership Institute,” and the “Leadership Now Project,” according to a press release about the call, convened to “discuss critical information regarding voting law proposals and to explore non-partisan actions business leaders could take to defend voting rights and our democracy.”
