The right-wing American Legislative Exchange Council, known as ALEC, continues to lose corporate members amid widespread public scrutiny of controversial measures it has helped push through state legislatures nationwide. Yum! Brands, the owner of fast food chains KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut, has become the latest company to withdraw from ALEC. ALEC has come under particular criticism for backing voter ID laws seen as discriminatory toward people of color as well as the “Stand Your Ground” gun laws.
