The Wisconsin Elections Committee is hiring an advertising firm to launch a campaign that would reassure voters that state elections are secure.
The commission approved a 260-thousand dollar deal Tuesday. It will include online content, videos, news releases, and graphics. The project will be funded from interest earned on a seven-million dollar federal grant received two years ago.
The approval was given after commission members found that 70% of people polled were worried about one or more perceived threats to election security in Wisconsin.
