Georgia Extends QR Ballot Deadline

Georgia’s midterm vote-counting system stays put thanks to new legislation delaying major changes until 2028, after lawmakers scrambled to avoid a July deadline that would’ve banned QR codes—despite no ready replacement. The governor called a special session as pressure mounted, with voting rights groups backing the status quo for now, citing chaos risks. The bill also tightens hand recounts to just eight races under narrow conditions, excluding Senate and House contests. Seen by some as a stopgap to prevent full hand-counting, it charts a path toward a more uniform, trustworthy system down the road.
