Federal Judge Dismisses Challenge to Georgia Voting Machines

A federal judge has dismissed a long-standing lawsuit challenging the use of electronic voting machines in Georgia, initiated in 2017 by the Coalition for Good Governance. The plaintiffs claimed the machines lacked security and reliability, but U.S. District Judge Amy Totenberg ruled they failed to demonstrate any legal harm from their use. This ruling concludes a legal battle that has highlighted concerns over election integrity, particularly following the contentious 2020 presidential election. Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger defended the state's voting system, asserting its security and accuracy. The ruling follows a $104 million investment in new voting technology from Dominion Voting Systems, which has faced scrutiny but was deemed reliable by state officials. The lead plaintiff stated that the fight for election integrity in Georgia is not over, indicating potential future legal actions.
