Georgias Voting Machines in Limbo: Lawmakers Fail to Address QR Code Ban, Leaving Elections Uncertain
Georgia lawmakers adjourned without resolving the states voting machine issue, leaving elections in limbo ahead of the July 1 deadline. The current Dominion systems use QR codes for vote counting, but a new law bans these barcodes, and counties lack funding to reprogram or replace the machines. Democrats criticized Republicans for avoiding responsibility, especially with Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones, a potential gubernatorial candidate, tied to Trump supporters who pushed for the ban after the 2020 loss. House Republicans proposed a plan to continue using the machines until 2026 and phase out QR codes by 2028, but the Senate rejected it. Election officials warn that a full switch now is impossible, leaving counties to prepare for hand-counted paper ballots or a court ruling to resolve the situation.
