Georgia Lawmakers Delay Switch to Hand-Marked Paper Ballots, Keeping Current System for Novembers Election
Georgia lawmakers have postponed the transition to hand-marked paper ballots until 2028, maintaining the current touchscreen system with QR codes for this Novembers vote. The delay, due to the need for more time to purchase new machines and train workers for eight million registered voters, has sparked concerns about eroding trust in the system. Critics argue that voters cannot easily verify their choices without readable marks, while election directors support the extension to prevent confusion and ensure smooth voting. The bill lacks funding and may undergo further changes in the Senate. If no action is taken, courts could intervene, leaving Georgias elections in limbo.
