https://www.xfinity.com

Comcast has taken a poor position on voting rights. The company has lobbied against measures that would make it easier for people to vote, arguing that such measures would be too costly and burdensome. Comcast also supports Voter ID laws, which make it harder for people to vote. These positions are likely motivated by the company's desire to protect its own interests, rather than by a commitment to ensuring that all Americans have an equal say in our democracy.
