"Some ballot marking devices employ a touchscreen to create bar coded selections of voter choices that are interpreted internally by a scanner and accumulated when the votes are cast. The unverifiable bar code technology, promoted by certain vendors and the office of the Secretary of State, enables a 'new wave' of hacking possibilities and significant potential for undetectable errors," writes VoterGA in this press release.
VoterGA reports that the Georgia Senate has taken its first major step toward voter-marked paper ballots, with its Ethics Committee voting to abandon both unverifiable electronic voting and “new wave” technology that counts votes in computer-generated barcodes rather than human-readable marks. The committee's vote, which came during a hearing on Senate Bill SB403, was unanimous.
