Pillars in The Center Square
The Center Square‘s Thérèse Boudreaux covered Pillars’ efforts to bolster trust in elections:
Less than two weeks before Election Day, the bipartisan group “Pillars of the Community,” led by Ben Ginsberg, counsel to former president George W. Bush, and former president Barack Obama counsel Bob Bauer, is aiming to convince voters of the security of Wisconsin’s election process.
As of Wednesday, the group has collected more than 30 signatures from politically diverse community leaders, law enforcement officials, veteran advocates and others in a public statement affirming their belief in the security of the state’s election procedures.
“As Election Day approaches, we, Pillars of the Community in Wisconsin, are united in expressing our confidence in the integrity of our state’s election system,” the published and advertised statement begins. “In recent months, we reviewed policies and the work of local election officials to gain a better understanding of Wisconsin’s election safeguards and processes. We have seen firsthand the robust measures in place to ensure the accuracy, transparency, and security of our elections.”
