Quote:Georgia’s Republican-controlled State Election Board has formally invited the Trump Department of Justice to step in and shut down the Peach State’s unverifiable, QR-code voting system before voters start casting ballots in the 2026 midterms.

In a September 30 letter to Attorney General Todd Blanche, State Election Board Executive Director James Mills asked the DOJ to prohibit the use of “unreadable, unverifiable QR-code-based vote tabulation and any other electronic tabulation method that does not permit the voter to verify the vote that is actually counted,” concerning Georgia’s Dominion voting system, now owned by Liberty Vote USA.

They passed a law in 2024 that ended the QR style of vote counting as of July 1, 2026. But they failed to find an alternative before the deadline and decided to kick the can down the road until 2028.

And now, a month before the election they want to try and shut down the whole process? And replace it with what?

They've used this process for a few years and other than trump lying about it, has seemingly been just fine...as the audits in 2020 showed.

The Georgia legislature needs to get their **** together.

Here's an explainer:
A last-minute change to Georgia’s ballot QR code bill could steer voting in a new direction - State lawmakers failed to fund a switch from QR codes.

Moving to anything else is probably less accurate when tabulated.

What they have worked, and was recounted by hand like three times.

If you were cheating it and printing one thing human readable and something else in the QR code it would be caught in the risk limiting audit during certification.

This is political grandstanding to cozy up into Donald’s diaper and it’s going to cost GA taxpayers money.

Are you talking about the GA recount that wasnt a single recount but 3 recounts where the numbers never matched, Trump always seemed to gain votes, and they were still missing 20,000 votes so they just rescanned an already scanned batch to make up the difference?

Are you talking about the dominion machines that they swore to us werent connected to the internet until the former dominion guy testified under oath in a deposition that they were, and that foreigners could get into the machines during the election?

• The Three Counts: Georgia did conduct three separate tallies of the 2020 presidential election: the initial machine tabulation, a hand-counted risk-limiting audit, and a requested machine recount. It is standard for large-scale recounts to have slight variations in the final numbers, but all three counts produced similar tallies that confirmed Joe Biden's victory in the state by a margin of 11,779 votes.
• The Rescanned Batches: The claim about "rescanning batches to make up a difference" stems from a real, but misrepresented, tabulation error. In 2024, state investigators found that there were 3,075 duplicate ballot images (not 20,000 votes) in Fulton County from the machine recount. Investigators explained that during tabulation, an error required some physical ballots to be rescanned. Election workers likely deleted the first scan's vote results but failed to delete the digital images from the first scan.
• The Impact: State investigators and the Secretary of State's office concluded that these duplicate ballot images were not counted twice in the actual vote tally. Furthermore, comparing the initial results with the machine recount, there were actually 880 fewer total votes counted in the recount. State officials have repeatedly affirmed there was no widespread fraud or missing thousands of votes.
  

• The Security of the Machines: The Department of Homeland Security's cybersecurity agency (CISA), alongside state election officials, issued a joint statement following the 2020 election confirming there was "no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes or was in any way compromised".
• The "Dominion Guy": This claim references Eric Coomer, the former director of product strategy and security for Dominion. Coomer has consistently denied allegations of rigging the election under oath and has filed multiple defamation lawsuits against individuals and networks who spread these rumors.
• The Deposition & "Admissions": Recent claims circulating on alternative media blogs assert that Coomer's recent court admissions or patent filings prove the machines were open to foreign interaction. However, courts have repeatedly reviewed these claims and found them baseless. Accusations that Dominion's software was intentionally designed to be vulnerable to foreign hacking were a central part of the massive defamation lawsuits brought by the company.
• The Legal Conclusion: In 2023, Fox News agreed to pay Dominion Voting Systems $787.5 million to settle its defamation lawsuit. As part of the settlement, Fox acknowledged the court's rulings that the claims broadcast about Dominion—which included allegations that their machines were manipulated by foreign agents—were false.

Here is a breakdown of the facts regarding both of these claims based on official investigations, court records, and extensive fact-checking.

Claim 1: The Georgia recount involved numbers that never matched, missing votes, and rescanned batches to make up a 20,000 difference.

• The Three Counts: Georgia did conduct three separate tallies of the 2020 presidential election: the initial machine tabulation, a hand-counted risk-limiting audit, and a requested machine recount. It is standard for large-scale recounts to have slight variations in the final numbers, but all three counts produced similar tallies that confirmed Joe Biden's victory in the state by a margin of 11,779 votes.

Furthermore, comparing the initial results with the machine recount, there were actually 880 fewer total votes counted in the recount. State officials have repeatedly affirmed there was no widespread fraud or missing thousands of votes.
  

Claim 2: A former Dominion employee testified under oath that machines were connected to the internet and accessible to foreigners during the election.

• The Security of the Machines: The Department of Homeland Security's cybersecurity agency (CISA), alongside state election officials, issued a joint statement following the 2020 election confirming there was "no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes or was in any way compromised".
• The "Dominion Guy": This claim references Eric Coomer, the former director of product strategy and security for Dominion. Coomer has consistently denied allegations of rigging the election under oath and has filed multiple defamation lawsuits against individuals and networks who spread these rumors.

As part of the settlement, Fox acknowledged the court's rulings that the claims broadcast about Dominion—which included allegations that their machines were manipulated by foreign agents—were false.
  

Verdict : Your argument is dumb and Fox News had to pay someone 3/4 of a billion dollars for making the same one.

Except that the dominion owner has now stated in a deposition that foreigners could and did get into the machines, because they were "subcontractors". So Fox paid on something dominion now admits to.

Quote:ATLANTA – Two Republicans on Georgia's state election board Thursday criticized a proposal by their own party to address a flaw in Georgia’s voting equipment that can allow voters to be matched to their ballots after they have been cast.

Janelle King, one of four Republicans on the five-member board, said during a meeting Thursday that such a requirement would impose new burdens on county election officials, including possibly having to hire additional poll workers. She also raised concerns about ballots falling out during the shuffling process and then going uncounted.

“I just have some major concerns about whether or not we are creating more problems while we are trying to address a problem that is an important issue,” she said.

Carolyn Roddy, who was appointed to the election board by the Republican Party, said she had previously opposed a similar proposal and did not see any reason to change her position.

She called the risk of coercion by family members or bosses a “small thing” that she didn’t think would affect the outcome of an election. The RNC proposal “does more harm than good,” she said, noting it would go into effect just days before early voting was set to begin.
