Employees have to let you leave to vote.

They can also fire you the next day for a coincidentally unrelated reason, and unless you have 50k in lawyers retainers handy there’s not shit you can do about it

That's not true.

In most states, employers don't need any reason at all to fire you.

“At will” employment, woohoo!

Depends on the state. In MN state law allows you take as much time as necessary to go vote with pay. I can't remember when this was passed but I'm going to "Thanks Walz" anyways.

If only there existed, like, a club for workers where everyone pays a membership fee to cover each other's legal costs and protect each other's rights. We could call it a "togetherness" or something like that
