A federal judge has ordered Georgia to stop using its outdated voting machines after this year, and to be ready with hand-marked paper ballots if its new system isn't in place for the presidential primaries.
FILE - In this Oct. 27, 2018 file photo, people cast their ballots ahead of the Nov. 6, general election at Jim Miller Park in Marietta, Ga. Georgia election officials have little room for error as they work to replace thousands of outdated voting machines statewide in only a matter of months. The state is making a $106 million purchase of new voting machines.
U.S. District Judge Amy Totenberg’s 153-page ruling Thursday is not a complete victory for either side. But the plaintiffs had asked Totenberg to order the state to immediately stop using the current system, which it plans to use for special and municipal elections this year. They also said they feared that the timeline for the implementation of the new machines is too tight, which could result in the old machines being used for 2020 elections.
