Election officials press Georgia lawmakers for swift funding action

A law backed by Republicans in the General Assembly outlaws the Quick Response (QR) codes that the state’s voting machines use to transfer voter intent into each polling place’s database.

Poll workers will have to use a different method starting July 1, and the legislature has yet to identify it — or pay for it.
