Tales from PR Watch

This story from PR-watch found its way into my inbox this morning. I am always interested to see how the heady world of PR earns a crust

HILL & KNOWLTON GETS OUT THE (LOST) VOTE
The Hill & Knowlton PR firm “is working to allay any voters’
concerns in Florida’s fourth largest county amid reports that votes
were not counted by new electronic balloting machines in an August
primary.” The firm’s $160,000 contract with Hillsborough County
includes promoting e-voting machines and encouraging “voters to
turn out and cast ballots.” Hill & Knowlton is also helping
Republican elections supervisor Buddy Johnson address “revelations
that 245 votes were ‘lost’ in a close primary race which was
decided by 130 votes.” The votes weren’t counted because a poll
worker had left the e-voting machine in “test” mode.
