Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger will decommission all voting machines in the county where forensics experts working for election denier Sidney Powell last year copied virtually every component of the voting system.
of the county elections office and other documents turned over to plaintiffs in long-running civil litigation over election security in Georgia. The plaintiffs argue that the state should replace touch-screen voting machines with hand-marked paper ballots. Raffensperger and other Georgia officials are defendants in that case. They deny that the voting system is insecure.
Marilyn Marks, executive director of the Coalition for Good Governance, a plaintiff in the civil litigation, said leaving those two pieces of equipment in place is “wildly ineffective.” They have been used during elections with the “presumably contaminated” devices that are now being replaced, and now could be contaminated themselves, she said.
The cost is about $400,000 for the materials, not including shipping and programming labor, Sterling said. The state has the machines on hand, so there is no need for a new outlay of cash right now. “Our position is that those responsible should pay, but it will be up to the legal system how that occurs,” he said.
