Georgia board asks federal agencies to review voting system
Request creates opening for Trump administration amid court setbacks elsewhere
The Georgia State Election Board has asked the Justice Department and Department of Homeland Security to review and potentially investigate the state’s voting system, citing outdated software, threats to ballot secrecy, and QR-code ballots that may violate federal law. The request, sent in a September 30 letter, comes as President Donald Trump’s push to investigate alleged election fraud faces legal setbacks in California and other states. Georgia officials have expressed differing views on the move.
