Georgia State Election Board asks Justice Department to investigate voting machines

The Georgia State Election Board asked the Justice Department this week to investigate the state’s voting systems as voters and the state prepare for the midterm elections next month.

The election board's executive director, James Mills, penned the letter to Attorney General Todd Blanche and Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon on Wednesday.

The leader asked the officials to require an update to the state’s voting machine software and prohibit the use of QR codes for ballot tabulation amid concerns about potential software vulnerabilities. State election officials have said updating the software cannot be completed before voting begins because it is a months-long process.
