Voting group launches seven-figure campaign to build trust in election

Source: Politico

VoteSafe, a bipartisan group that encourages voter participation, is rolling out a $1.7 million campaign featuring local election officials reassuring Americans that the election process is safe and secure.

The “guardians of democracy” campaign is starting in four battleground states: Florida, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, according to details of the program shared with POLITICO. The ads star local election officials, who highlight security features in their systems for both in-person and mail voting.

“Safe and secure elections are fundamental to our country,” Jennifer Edwards, supervisor of elections for Collier County, Fla., says in the ad airing in the state. “No matter how you vote, in-person, early or by mail, we have security measures to make sure your vote is counted.”

The ads, which also feature local officials in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, are airing on Fox News in the targeted Great Lakes states, as well as on digital platforms like YouTube and Hulu in all four states.

This is the kind of messaging I'd expect to hear if elections were thoroughly rigged.
