ALEC Ramps Up Election Reform Initiatives for States: The Daily Signal
“This new task force will help preserve the founder’s intent and ensure the destiny we choose is our own.”
Fred Lucas of The Daily Signal recently covered the launch of ALEC’s new Process and Procedures Task Force.
The American Legislative Exchange Council, the largest voluntary coalition of state lawmakers, established a voting integrity task force to concentrate on state policies regarding voter ID, mail-in ballots, and blocking foreign election influence among other issues.
ALEC’s Process and Procedures Task Force indicates the influential legislator group known for drafting model bills for state lawmakers is casting a bigger focus on election reforms to come.
