WKOW: Bipartisan election experts work to restore trust in elections ahead of November
Darrielle Fair of WKOW reports on Pillars of the Community co-chairs Ben Ginsburg and Bob Bauer’s recent luncheon with the Wisconsin Technology Council.
On Tuesday, the Pillars of the Community initiative, a bipartisan effort to restore trust in elections, partnered with the Wisconsin Technology Council for a luncheon to educate community leaders on the election administration process in Wisconsin.
Ben Ginsburg, former counsel to former President George W. Bush and Republican Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), and Bob Bauer, former White House Counsel for former President Barack Obama, spoke at the event. The initiative has hosted similar events in Wisconsin and four other states.
“We have seen no evidence that suggests that there was anything amiss with the 2020 election,” Ginsburg said. “I got together with a group of conservatives, three retired federal judges, federal appellate judges, former solicitor general of the United States, ex-senator, we have all worked in Republican politics for a long time, and only in Republican politics. None of us voted for Joe Biden in 2020. We looked for fraud, we looked for problems, and at some point you have to be honest about the evidence, and the evidence simply is not there to justify the notion that our elections are inaccurate, and certainly not that they’re rigged.”
