“ For the Koch broth­ers and their kind, less democ­racy is bet­ter. They fund cam­paigns with mil­lions of dol­lars in checks that have helped elect the likes of Wis­con­sin Gov­er­nor Scott Walker and Ohio Gov­er­nor John Ka­sich. And ALEC has made it clear, through its am­bi­tious “Pub­lic Safety and Elec­tions Task Force,” that while it wants to dis­man­tle any bar­ri­ers to cor­po­rate cash and bil­lion­aire bucks’ in­flu­enc­ing elec­tions, it wants very much to erect bar­ri­ers to the pri­mary tool that Amer­i­cans who are not CEOs have to in­flu­ence the pol­i­tics and the gov­ern­ment of the na­tion: vot­ing. ”
