In Georgia, each County Board of Commissioners or Board of Elections has the authority to choose paper ballots to be counted by optical scanners. GA Code ยง 21-2-366 (2016). Petition these Boards for Paper Ballots before November 2018 Election!
Why is this important?
(SIGNATURES BY ATHENS-CLARKE COUNTY VOTERS ONLY, PLEASE) All counties already own optical scanners that they use for mail ballots and provisional ballots. They can centrally count paper ballots collected at the polling places, and let the touchscreens stay idle. We have had evidence that our electronic voting machines are not secure, and Secretary of State Brian Kemp seems unlikely to do his job to make the necessary changes state-wide. Since we have the right to make the change county-by-county, we should do what we can to make our votes secure locally. We the people need to take control of this loss of faith issue (in the least) and do what we have to do. Demand paper ballots.
