By your comment "Do you vote Republican?", I'm assuming you are in the US. Then the answer is likely yes.
Federally, the US EEOC has a page listing the "Prohibited Employment Policies/Practices" (https://www.eeoc.gov/prohibited-employment-policiespractices https://www.eeoc.gov/prohibited-employment-policiespractices). It makes no references to political orientation or social causes.
Also its not covered under the "Civil Rights Act of 1964" as well.
Certain states have protection against job discrimination for public employees based on political affiliation which would cover your "Do you vote Republican?". However as you said its a consulting firm, so not applicable.
NOTE: IANAL, my SIL does HR and that was her quick answer.
- pault 6y agoI removed that last sentence from the post as I didn't want anyone to misunderstand and think they actually asked if he votes Republican. My point was that asking the interviewee if he supports social justice movements is a very simple proxy for asking his political affiliation in the two party circus we have here in the US.
