**Milwaukee, WI –**TheWisconsin State Journal published an opinion piece this morning penned by RightCount Leadership Advisory Council member JB Van Hollen. Van Hollen, a former Attorney General for the state of Wisconsin, outlines the protections already in place to keep Wisconsin elections safe as well as ways to alleviate doubts to keep improving.
Take a look at the full piece HEREand see excerpts below:
“Every single vote cast has a paper record and every election includes audits to verify results. Every machine is tested and certified and the entire process is open to the public – just ask your local clerk!
“All this goes to show that in Wisconsin, we are putting in the work to make sure elections are accurate, safe from tampering, and reflect the will of our citizens – from the most local to statewide elections.
“…In Wisconsin, we know our elections can always be improved. Even though we know our elections are safe, secure, and fair, we’re always working to make sure we are continuously improving and removing even the shadow of a doubt from our results.
If the federal government would like to help improve our elections, they should begin by encouraging states to take on the challenges unique to each state, just as we’re doing here in Wisconsin, and to be a partner in our efforts.”
