Charles Koch on Voter ID and His Supposed Lack of Support for ALEC’s Role in Promoting Such Laws

In this interview with Matea Gold (on Koch’s friendship and partnership with Michael Lomax of the United Negro College Fund):

The two do not see to eye to eye on many issues, including when it comes to voter identification laws.

“I think there needs to be a system so people only vote once, and only live people vote,” Koch said.

However, he said the network established by him and his brother, David, did not support an effort by the American Legislative Exchange Council to pass voter ID laws in a host of states in recent years

No, not at all, we’ve had nothing to do — we support ALEC in certain things,” Charles Koch said. “Listen, we get criticized — we support hundreds, thousands of groups. None do we agree with everything they do.”

Part of the hard pr push for the kinder, gentler Kochs and their nearly $1 billion in spending planned for the 2016 election season.
