The power company handed $1.6 billion to a trust controlled by Leonard Leo, who is perhaps best known for his efforts to pack courts with conservative judges.
“I think that Leonard Leo's work, especially his recent work in terms of voting, has been quite damaging to American democracy,” said Richard Hasen, a professor who specializes in election law and campaign finance regulation at the UCLA School of Law. “And I think that with an extra $1.6 billion to play with there’s a lot more damage that can be done.”Barre Seid donated shares in his manufacturing business to the Marble Freedom Trust, helmed by Leo.
“Eaton has some explaining to do. Do they support American democracy or was it all just talk to get some good PR?” added Kyle Herrig, president of Accountable.US, which describes itself as a nonpartisan organization aiming to “shine a light on corporations and special interests that too often wield unchecked power and influence.”
In a statement, Honest Elections Project executive director Jason Snead said the group “is proud to support the right to vote in free and fair elections and defend the commonsense laws that Americans overwhelmingly demand to safeguard our election system…including photo ID, access to early voting, and clean voter rolls.”
