Federal Judge Orders Trial for Ga.'s Dominion Voting Machines
Newsmax ^ | 11/12/23 | staff

Posted on 11/12/2023 3:22:37 PM PST by CFW

The question of whether Georgia's electronic voting system has major cybersecurity flaws that amount to a violation of voters' constitutional rights to cast their votes and have those votes accurately counted is set to be decided at trial early next year.

U.S. District Judge Amy Totenberg issued a 135-page ruling late Friday in a long-running lawsuit filed by activists who want the state to ditch its electronic voting machines in favor of hand-marked paper ballots. The state had asked the judge to rule in its favor based on the arguments and facts in the case without going to trial, but Totenberg found there are “material facts in dispute” that must be decided at trial.

She set a Jan. 9 bench trial, which means there will be no jury. But she also suggested that the two sides work together to reach a resolution.

“The Court cannot wave a magic wand in this case to address the varied challenges to our democracy and election system in recent years, including those presented in this case,” she wrote. “But reasonable, timely discussion and compromise in this case, coupled with prompt, informed legislative action, might certainly make a difference that benefits the parties and the public.”

Anyone who thinks that Nina Totenberg’s sister is going to rule against Dominion is naive.

She was nominated by President Barack Obama in 2011...

“Sister of Nina Totenberg, NPR propagandist.”


Yep. And there is one more sister named Jill. She is a PR and marketing specialist. Quite a trio there.

Without reading her 135 pages, that sounds like weasel words. I doubt the parties are asking her to wave a "magic wand' let alone address challenges to our democracy or the election system. It appears plaintiff simply wants the machines thrown out and paper ballots.

Not to be confused with Nina Totenberg, the objective and politically neutral reporter on NPR.

Oh,I agree. I’m sure she will carefully control what evidence is allowed and will stymie the Plaintiff’s ability to have their side really heard. It’s a bench trial with no jury so I do not expect much from it. However, it will be an interesting story to follow.

Gee, filed in 2017! Maybe by 2030 there might be a ruling, you know in time for Kamala‘s 2nd term or as we call it Obama’s 6th…..

Un-Possible that it will make a difference.
The Civil Rights of millions of USA Citizens are violated, and we can barely get anything done about it for over three years.
Big Fraud is ruling our lives.

Wow. They left out the recent Admission to the case that the evidence held by the state was ‘lost / missing’, setting up a Brady Rule, which ends the case in favor of the plaintiff. And the attorneys filing the case motioned to remove them as counsel.

As long as paper ballots remain IN the precinct after being tallied there, elections cannot be stolen. Once the counting is centralized, inserting thousands of prepared ballots is simple and impossible to stop. That is why democrats want the tabulation machines.
