With in-person voting only 11 business days away, county election officials will be hard-pressed to prepare the new system on time. With electronic voting systems, each piece must be tested prior to use. The new GA system has 80K devices to test.
Using #HandMarkedPaperBallots instead of ballot marking tablets would eliminate 85% of the testing; its likely the only way to make up for time lost with the database error.
Counties are already prepared with #HMPB for 10% of registered voters.
The flawed database that has halted critical election preparation in GA shows the risks of outsourced elections. The SOS relied on the vendor to prepare election databases for all GA counties, and failed to exercise proper oversight - putting the statewide election at risk.
Kudos to @CoalitionGoodGv for uncovering the database failure within hours of the SOS notifying counties. CGG's work to secure elections is unparalleled - consider donating today to help the work continue. http://coalitionforgoodgovernance.org/donate
