Narrow Margin

Narrow Margin is a series by Wisconsin Watch staff, media partners and a University of Wisconsin-Madison investigative journalism class. The project is examining voting security, suppression and disinformation aimed at voters in Wisconsin — a crucial state that could determine the winner of the 2020 presidential election. The investigative reporting class is led by Dee J. Hall, managing editor for Wisconsin Watch.
