TPM: “The National Center for Public Policy Research announced this week it had formed a ‘Voter Identification Task Force’ to continue ALEC’s ‘excellent work’ in ‘promoting measures to enhance integrity in voting.’ Describing itself as a ‘conservative, free-market, non-profit think-tank,’ the group was established in 1982.”

“While several conservative organizations have taken up the issue of voter identification, no national group that considered voter ID their central issue has existed since the American Center for Voting Rights disappeared back in 2007. More recently, the Tea Party group True the Vote has held a national conference to address the issue and James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas has produced a number of “undercover” videos in an attempt to show why they believe voter ID laws are necessary.”
