(CBS News) -- An influential group known for pushing conservative laws at
the state level -- including voter ID laws and Florida's controversial
"Stand Your Ground" law -- is under fire for its views, and at least one
of its major backers has dropped its membership in the organization.
.
Coke said Wednesday it was withdrawing from the American Legislative
Exchange Council, a non-partisan organization working to promote free
markets and limited government through state legislators after a liberal
leaning group started a petition to urge ALEC's member companies to drop
their financial support of the group.
.
"The Coca-Cola Company has elected to discontinue its membership with the
American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC).

.
Progressive groups have criticized ALEC for pushing state laws that
require voters to present government identification before voting. Such
laws have traditionally been used to suppress voter turnout among certain
demographics. Conservatives discount those claims and say voters should be
required to prove who they are before voting. There is little evidence of
voters pretending to be someone else when they head to the ballot box.
.
The Stand Your Ground law, which allows the use of deadly force by those
who feel threatened, has come under fire in the wake of the shooting of an
unarmed Florida teen, Trayvon Martin.
