'•Three-fourths companies that paused some or all political contributions in response to the January 6 Capitol insurrection have contributed to state legislators who are supporting voter suppression legislation.' Steve, It's in the comment but thought to copy it for you.

The language you quoted is vague. It's vague and ambiguous becasue it doesn't say whether the companies made those contributions before or after they paused in response to the events of January 6, 2021.
In other words, it doesn't state what you implied - that the contributions are documented to have been made AFTER January 6, 2021. They may have been, but the article itself doesn't cite any evidence that they have.
The article leaves it to you to draw that conclusion - that they maintained their contribution patterns (well documented from 2015-2020) AFTER January 6, 2020. While it may indeed be a fair inference, Public Citizen never said that those companies started shoveling money to the pro-suppression state legislators AFTER January 6.
'The deadly January 6th Capitol attack was merely the first salvo. The next one is here (Georgia), in the form of S.B. 202, as well as bills like the one Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds signed earlier this month, cutting her state’s early voting period and closing the polls one hour earlier on Election Day. New York University’s Brennan Center for Justice has counted more than 250 bills like those proposed this year alone, in 43 states. '(Rolling Stone, 3/26/2021) I'm done now, Steve. You are on your own.
'...in response to the January 6 Capitol insurrection have contributed to state legislators who are supporting voter suppression legislation.'. Why don't you check the source?
You keep quoting that language as if it says that "corporations re-started contributions AFTER January 6, when they paused in response to events of January 6 and in light of voter suppression bills in 2021 legislative sessions."
It doesn't say that.
I've read the article 5 times now. All of the contribution data in every one of the tables is from 2015 to 2020.
None of the financial contribution data is from 2021.

Now you're diverting the discussion to introduction of voter suppression laws.
That's not the same as whether corporations have re-started their pattern of political donations after they paused them in January, 2021.
Wasn't that the main thesis of your main comment and the Public Citizen article?
I'm clearly not following you, so I guess I'm done here, too.
