QR code ballot counting crisis post-legislative session
Key Questions
What is the QR code ballot counting issue in Georgia?
Georgia lawmakers ended their April 2 legislative session without addressing a July 1 deadline to stop counting ballots using QR codes on Dominion voting systems. Counties like Paulding, Hall, and Floyd are left in limbo, facing uncertainty for future elections.
What risks arise from the lack of a fix for QR code ballots?
Without a legislative fix, counties may be unable to count ballots after July 1, potentially triggering a special session or lawsuits ahead of the May primaries. This stems from the unresolved deadline on Dominion QR ballots.
Why did the voting transparency push fail in the Georgia Senate?
A push for greater voting transparency related to QR code ballots failed to pass in the Senate during the recent legislative session. Lawmakers adjourned without resolving the issue, heightening concerns over election processes.
