What’s Wrong with Georgia’s New Voting System

Garland Favorito, Founder of VoterGA, spoke to the Madison Forum on Saturday, February 29 about the costs and vulnerabilities of Georgia’s new voting machines. With issues such as hacking vulnerabilities, ballot secrecy, limited and uncertain audit capabilities; this issue is of great concern to many Georgia voters. The 2020 elections will be pivotal not only to the future of Cobb County, but also to the future of the United States of America. Find out what you can do to preserve the integrity of your vote.

Georgia’s new Ballot Marking Device (BMD) voting system accumulates votes hidden in unverifiable bar codes. Recounts will rescan those encrypted bar codes and the vast majority of races will not be audited. Even if a race is audited, only a small percentage of summary sheets will be verified. For these reasons and more, VoterGA urges you, and all Georgians, to vote by mail to ensure your vote is actually counted correctly as cast.

  1. Michael,
    I am a poll manager and have seen the new machines and have seen the process. While I do have some concerns about the voters’ privacy, the fact that the ballots are not auditable is not accurate. The ballot reader, which is the action that records the votes, does read a small, machine readable code, the votes selected are printed on the ballot. The ballots are stored in the machine and will be available for a manual count.
    Concerning the privacy issue, I will have to review my particular poll layout before making any additions comments.
    Thank you,
    Mike

    1. Machines are subject to manipulation and manual recounts have a long process including approval. Manual entry of paper ballots and then scan ballot. No machine readable code should be used. Voters must see and approve all ballot information!
      Thank you,

  2. At the Wednesday, Marche 11 hearing in Henry County, the judge allowed the defendants attorney to get away with another delay by claiming she had not been Served in time with the notice of hearing. That was refuted by the plaintiffs who testified they personally delivered the notice in time to the Fulton Attorney. It has become clear from all prior in court activities that Fulton County has no case other than to delay turning over the voting material from the November 3, 2020 election for forensic inspection by auditors. The judge after only 20 minutes on March 11 made it clear to Fulton County attorney she best be in court ready to go on Monday, March 15, at 9:00AM. At that time the judge indicated he would be ruling to require Fulton County to release the sought materials to a “Special Master” to be appointed by the court On Monday. It appeared the judge was MORE than accommodating to Fulton County but that the courts patience had run out. Hence the Monday, March 15 hearing.

  3. Really great conversation. Mr. Garland has devoted his life to free and fair elections. I have so much respect and admiration for what he has done to expose the corruption that has taken over our entire election system and the unelected politicians who use this system to stay in office. Garland never cowers to the left or the RINOS and he has no problem shining a light on things that most people in the public eye won’t even acknowledge exist. His patience and ability to make complex election fraud schemes understandable to the general public is bar none. Keep up the great work!
