Judge Bars Georgia From Using Current Voting Technology in 2020

U.S. District Judge Amy Totenberg has ordered Georgia not to use its paperless voting machines, election management software, or servers for the 2020 election, requiring the state to implement a new voting system in time for the presidential primaries.

Georgia is currently acquiring new electronic voting machines and vote-counting software.

The court order will prevent the state from relying on its paperless voting machines and election management software if the replacement infrastructure is not ready in time; should this happen, Georgia may have to fall back on paper ballots.

Attorney David Cross said the order “is a big win for all Georgia voters and those working across the country to secure elections and protect the right to vote."
