Judge Orders Paper-Based Georgia Elections For 2020 Onward

Federal Judge Amy Totenberg has ruled Georgia will use its outdated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direct-recording electronic (DRE) voting system is outdated,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.
