Georgia’s 127k Missing Votes, Disproportionate to African American Neighborhoods
Important context from the executive summary that is missing from the headline:<p>- the missing votes are from the Lt. Governors race only, not the total ballot<p>- many people reported software glitches with that specific ballot item<p>- the study blames faulty programming and insists the state not use electronic voting since it apparently is not reliable<p>Their conclusions are strongly worded but sound reasonable to me.<p>Quoted from the executive summary:<p>• Forensic examinations of the machine programming must be promptly undertaken to obtain answers, locate the source of the errors, and, if appropriate, hold officials accountable.<p>• Electronic voting systems must be immediately abandoned and paper ballots adopted so that no future elections are conducted on Georgia’s unauditable machines.<p>• Governor Kemp, Secretary Raffensperger, and legislative leaders must abandon their plan to adopt a new ballot-marking-device electronic voting system that, like the current system, is unauditable and vulnerable to problems of the type experienced in November’s election.
