Voting Machines – VoterGA v. State, A23A0004, 2023 WL 3963638 (Ga. Ct. App. June 13, 2023)
Here, the petitioners argue that, although electors can verify their voting choices on a printed ballot, electors cannot verify whether the corresponding QR Code printed on the ballot, which is unreadable by an elector, accurately records the elector’s voting choices. Thus, the petitioners contend that the electronic ballot markers obtained from Dominion Voting Systems do not comply with OCGA §§ 21-2-2 (7.1) and 21-2-300 (a) (2). . . . [T]here is no language in the statute that requires that the corresponding QR code on the ballot be readable by an elector, or that electors must be able to verify their election choices through the specific mechanism or device that actually tabulates and counts their voting choices, and we decline to construe the statute in such a manner.
