Judge Orders Paper-Based Georgia Elections For 2020 Onward
from On Second Thought
Federal Judge Amy Totenberg has ruled Georgia will use its outdated voting machines for one more election . Then, it’s time for a change. Georgia is currently one of five states that relies on electronic voting machines, but officials are currently working to implement a new $107 million ballot-marking device system that includes touchscreen machines with a printed paper ballot component. A lawsuit filed in 2017 says the current touchscreen direct-recording electronic (DRE) voting system is outdated, flawed, and insecure. The ultimate goal of the legal challenge is to move Georgia to hand-marked paper ballots, though Totenberg has denied that request for the last two years.
