Voting Systems Failure and Reprogramming of Election Systems Immediately Before The 2020 General Election (GA)

On September 30, 2020, the Secretary of State directed county officials to install untested and uncertified software (version 5.5.10.32) written the week before on 34,000 Ballot Marking Devices across the state before it was tested or submitted to the Election Assistance Commission (“EAC”) as required. To be clear- this was not a patch, but a complete installation of a new and untested software version.
