An investigation by the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) into money that poured into South Carolina to help underwrite the cost of managing elections paints what the foundation considers a disturbing portrait of the influence of “corporate interests” over what should be a purely nonpartisan, government function.
Legislation that was the subject of a public hearing in the U.S. Senate last week would give the Department of Justice the power to override the constitutional authority of the states to establish their own election laws and procedures, says the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF), a self-described conservative legal group promoting integrity in elections.
