HR professional here (I also work in cybersecurity/tech). Some states (California, New York among them) require employers in that state to allow up to 2 hours paid time to each employee to vote. Other than that, it is usually the discretion of your employer.

Actually, it is. He can ask that they give him a preferred time to go to avoid unnecessary conflict but the intimidation factor of that statute alone will cover him.
Nope.
There are at least two ways that statute can be argued against by the employer.
They might not win, but then again, they might. It's not the slam dunk you think it is.

Did say it was a slam dunk. I’m saying it’s not worth the risk to the employer from a PR and cost standpoint. Much easier to just let him go vote and move along.

Were you able to vote?

Oh, good grief. You didn't use those words, but of course that's exactly what you meant. Whether you arrived at that conclusion because you think he has an airtight legal case or whether you think the email will cause them to back down, it doesn't matter. And the strength of the case directly impacts whether the company will back down.

Again, that might or might not be true. The fact is that you have no idea whether it is or not. If they, for example, provide onboarding services for international companies, have no central location and provide all their services online to international clients, they probably couldn't care less about the PR. If, on the other hand, they are city employees in a small town with an elected official as their ultimate boss, they would.
Plus, you're discounting the cost to the employee if it becomes an issue. He has to hire a lawyer too. Even if he wins. And the company might have lawyers on retainer (or not...again, we have no idea).
I'm going to make one more observation and then I'm done wasting time on this topic. Anybody who takes this kind of advice from a poster on an anonymous message board who has absolutely no idea about his life, his work, his circumstances, etc. is a moron and deserves it if it blows up in his face (which it could in this case).
I hope we can at least agree on that.
