Dark Money Group Drafted Voter Suppression Bills

May 13, 2021 · 3:26 pm ET · Leave a Comment

In a leaked video of a private meeting with big-money donors, the head of a top conservative group “boasted that her outfit had crafted the new voter suppression law in Georgia and was doing the same with similar bills for Republican state legislators across the country,” Mother Jones reports.

Said Jessica Anderson of Heritage Action: “In some cases, we actually draft them for them or we have a sentinel on our behalf give them the model legislation so it has that grassroots, from-the-bottom-up type of vibe.”

She added: “Honestly, nobody even noticed. My team looked at each other and we’re like, ‘It can’t be that easy.'”
