Georgia Voters File New Lawsuit to Stop Touchscreen Voting Machines

On April 20, a group of Georgia voters filed a new federal lawsuit against the state’s touchscreen voting machines, alleging that they could cause transmission of the Covid-19 virus.  The lawsuit argues that the state should use paper ballots, as most states do.  By contrast to paper ballots, the touchscreen machines involve many voters touching the same surface.  Coalition for Good Governance v Raffensperger, n.d., 1:20cv-1677.  The case is assigned to U.S. District Court Judge Timothy Batten, a Bush Jr. appointee.  Here is the Complaint. 

Georgia has had persistent activism against touchscreen machines for a decade.  The original opposition to them was based on the lack of a reliable audit trail.

The lawsuit also argues that the primary should be moved from June 9 to June 30.

  1. What State has had the MOST election law cases since 1776 ???

    esp ballot access and gerrymander cases ???

  2. If you mean federal ballot access cases, it is probably one of these: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, or West Virginia. Good question. I don’t know the answer.

  3. Hmmmm — mere top rotted 14 of 50 current States — 6 ex-ConFed regimes.

    End the FATAL ROT.

  4. The Oklahoma State L.P. appears to have used the “Opavote”system designed a former FairVote programmer so to elect about 14 Delegates.

    While we appreciate what appears to be a pure proportional representation voting systyem, Opavote also used for single-winner election districts (one-party system), at least the mathematics might correct.

    Unfortunately, there is no transparency with Opavote, although I haven’t studied it much having only seen it in use last week for this first time.

    The concept of having paper ballots as proof under pure proportional representation is the system my campaign has been bringing in 2020.

  5. You undercounted. Oklahoma and Arizona were not yet states, but they were confederate territories.
