Judge weighs ordering switch to paper ballots in Georgia
They've asked Totenberg to order the state to immediately switch to hand-marked paper ballots. The plaintiffs had asked Totenberg in August to order Georgia to use hand-marked paper ballots for that election. Bryan Tyson, a lawyer representing state election officials, told the judge the state plans to announce the new system it's selected in "a matter of days." Four county election officials, three of whom will oversee elections this fall, testified that it would be hard to switch to hand-marked paper ballots in time for those elections. The plaintiffs represented by Brown are asking the state to use hand-marked paper ballots along with its existing election management system and to use the ballot scanners it currently uses for paper absentee and provisional ballots for all ballots.
