January 27, 2021 - 8:13pm Since the insurrection at the Capitol on Jan. 6, numerous corporations and trade groups have condemned the violence and have taken steps to hold accountable those tied to what will forever be a stain on our democracy. A large number of corporate PACs are also suspending, pausing, and reviewing contributions to those in Congress who voted against certifying President-elect Joe Biden’s victory. But what about the American Legislative Exchange Council’s(ALEC) funders? ALEC, an ostensibly nonpartisan pay-to-play operation where legislators and corporate lobbyists meet behind closed doors to adopt model legislation on a broad range of public policy issues, embraced Trump early on, and its leaders and members worked hard to promote his voter fraud lies in order to keep him office.
