NEW: An “Academy” for state lawmakers on voter suppression strategies run by ALEC in July featured a veritable who’s who of the right-wing leaders behind this year’s disinformation campaign about voter fraud & assaults on voting rights across the country.

ALEC did all that it could to keep this meeting secret from only inviting a select number of its state lawmaker members to attend, to passing out zip drives with materials in hopes materials wouldn’t be subject to open record laws.
