Georgia's secretary of state has certified the new touchscreen voting machines the state is purchasing, saying they meet state law and are secure for use.
Georgia's secretary of state certified new touchscreen voting machines as election-safe in court documents Friday, bidding to put behind the acrimonious 2018 electoral season marred by reports of malfunctioning voting equipment, hourslong wait times and criticism that the state's outdated machines were vulnerable to hacking.
The developments came in court documents filed by attorneys defending state election officials against a lawsuit challenging Georgia's current voting system and seeking statewide use of hand-marked paper ballots. Raffensperger recently announced the contract with Dominion for new electronic touchscreen machines that print a paper summary of a voter's ballot selections. The touchscreens will replace the state's current outdated machines, which had come under heavy criticism that they are hackable and fail to provide a paper record to audit and verify the results.
Cybersecurity experts have warned, however, that the new machines suffer from many of the same issues as the old ones.
