Georgia election officials said Wednesday that they would need six to nine months to install new software and hardware to update the state’s voting system to protect against security flaws, pushing back against calls to update the system before the 2024 election cycle.

“It’s really not an upgrade,” state Deputy Elections Director Michael Barnes said of the work needed on 30,000 voting machines. “This really would require us to fully rebuild the system.”

Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has said the state must wait until 2025, but critics continue to pile on, with Lt. Gov. Burt Jones and the state Republican Party joining the chorus in recent days. They say waiting until after next year’s presidential election would leave the voting equipment open to attack.

Don't wanna.

[ducttape45]

You beat me to it. I was gonna say the same thing.

[blackdog]

I remember those lever-curtain machines seemed to be free of controversy for about 75 years.

[dsrtsage]

Obstacles? Such as democrats, democrats and other democrats?

[clashfan]

Raffensperger is scum.

[no-to-illegals]

Georgia wants cheating …..

[FLT-bird]

Bring back paper ballots. Problem solved.

Does everybody see what a corrupt RINO hack Ratburger is now?

[ConservativeDude]

let’s just get on with it. Biden (or Newsome...) wins Georgia. Might as well declare it now. No need for an election.

They need far less time and money to print paper ballots and hand count. These are not serious people. Fire them all.

Excuses to cheat again in 2024.

[Reno89519]

And purple ink for the fingers! Make it a one-day state holiday.

There’s a lot of old and weak water pipes which could burst at any time, especially during election periods, and flood ballot counting rooms.

The Russians would likely try to cause those pipes to burst, because, you know, they hate freedom.

So we must be very careful and not do any sudden changes which could jeopardize our electoral system and play into the hands of white supremacists.

Great idea
I will give you an excellent reference

[mass55th]

The only obstacle is they don’t want to.

Plus dipping the fingers in red stain that takes 6 months to get rid of...
