Georgia Voting System Faces July Deadline Crisis
2 weeks ago
Georgia lawmakers ended their annual session Friday without a plan to update the state’s voting machines, leaving uncertainty about how residents will cast ballots in the November election.
With no funding or agreement on a replacement system, counties could be forced to use hand-marked paper ballots. Election officials warn that implementing a new process in just a few months would be nearly impossible.
The unresolved situation could result in court intervention or a special legislative session to ensure the state meets the July 1 deadline.
