Last Week Tonight with John Oliver — Episode 23: State Legislatures and ALEC

You are watching the episode State Legislatures and ALEC While midterm coverage is largely focused on the parts of Congress that do very little, vital (and bizarre) midterm elections are going unexamined. State legislators pass a lot of bills, and some of that efficiency is thanks to a group called ALEC that writes legislation for them. It’s as shady as it sounds!
