What matrices preserve the $L_1$ norm for positive, unit norm vectors?
The matrices that preserve the set $P$ of probability vectors are those whose columns are members of $P$. This is obvious since if $x \in P$, $M x$ is a convex combination of the columns of $M$ with coefficients given by the entries of $x$. Each column of $M$ must be in $P$ (take $x$ to be a vector with a single $1$ and all else $0$), and $P$ is a convex set.
