Judge Says Georgia Must Scrap Outdated Electronic Voting Machines After 2019
August 15, 2019
A federal judge has denied a request to move all of this fall’s municipal elections in Georgia away from “unsecure, unreliable and grossly outdated technology” and toward hand-marked paper ballots that are optically scanned and counted.
The order from U.S. District Court Judge Amy Totenberg Thursday also requires the state to cease using its direct-recording electronic voting machines after 2019 and expresses doubts about the state’s ability to roll out its new ballot-marking device system in time for the March 24, 2020, presidential primary election.
In the decision, Totenberg also directs the Georgia secretary of state’s office to develop a plan to “address errors and discrepancies in the voter registration database” and have paper copies of poll books at each voting precinct.
The state must also create a contingency plan for the 2020 elections in case the new system is not completely rolled out. That includes designating several pilot jurisdictions that will use hand-marked paper ballots with optical scanners in their elections this fall.

Her eldest sister, Nina Totenberg, is a Supreme Court correspondent for NPR.[2] Another sister, Jill Totenberg, is a businesswoman (CEO of The Totenberg Group) married to Brian Foreman.[3]
There is another huge lawsuit that L Lin Wood has been talking about. In March 2020 GA SOS Raffensperger settled with democrats on how absentee ballots would be processed in elections. In essence, he CHANGED ELECTION LAW without going through the GA legislature.
This is the same thing they just ruled on in PA.
By the way, Raffensperger’s wife has covid and he is now in quarantine. How convenient.
