Georgia Secretary of State’s Spokesperson Calls Judge Totenberg’s Conclusions About the Unconstitutionality of Georgia’s Voting Systems “Silly and Unfounded”

AP:

Totenberg cited a “mountain of voter testimony showing that these vulnerabilities have a tangible impact” on voters’ attempts to cast a ballot and have their vote counted.


The plaintiffs provided statements from 137 Georgia voters, two county poll workers and 15 poll watchers about problems during the November 2018 midterm election. Those included: self-casting ballots, malfunctioning voting machines, voter selections flipping to another candidate, and electronic pollbooks showing incorrect polling places or addresses for voters.


STATE RESPONSE


In an email to The Associated Press, Tess Hammock, spokeswoman for Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, said, “These conclusions are silly and unfounded. At the end of the day no judge should be susceptible to political Rhetoric.”


In a subsequent email she added that the secretary of state’s office looks forward to implementing the new system.
