This Matters with Bill Britt

Alabama voters are being targeted by voices they can’t see

Coordinated political attacks with hidden funding are reshaping Alabama elections, raising questions about transparency, trust and who truly controls power.

When you can’t see who’s speaking, you can’t trust what’s being said.

In Alabama’s Republican primary, voters are being hit with coordinated messages, but the source remains hidden.

In this week’s “This Matters,” Bill Britt examines a wave of attack mailers targeting Republican incumbents who supported letting voters decide on gambling, and what it reveals about how influence is operating in modern elections.

This isn’t just about one PAC or one election. It’s about a system where influence moves quietly, operates strategically and avoids scrutiny until after it has already shaped the outcome.
