Last Week Tonight with John Oliver — S1E23
Episode: State Legislatures and ALEC
Air Date: 2014-11-02
Runtime: 30 min
Overview
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!
