Summary

Republican mega-donors Dick and Liz Uihlein, major backers of Trump, surveyed employees at their company, Uline, on their voting preferences for the upcoming U.S. election. Uline is based in swing-state Wisconsin, critical for presidential candidates.

Marketed as "anonymous," the survey requested employees sign in, raising privacy concerns and skepticism among staff.

Liz Uihlein dismissed concerns, calling the survey "for fun" and voluntary, though legal experts warn that such employer requests can be intimidating and may increase employee anxiety.

Federal and state laws prohibit voter intimidation, with Wisconsin specifically criminalizing vote solicitation.

And I'm sure it's just coincidence that everyone who said they were voting for Kamala has to work a double shift tomorrow.
