Failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacy Abrams is targeting safeguards in the state's new election integrity law that restrict photographing a voter's ballot touch screen and limit the ability to relay ongoing vote tallies.
Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who oversees state elections, criticized the lawsuit, saying, "The Stacey Abrams-funded Coalition for Good Governance was one of the main spreaders of disinformation about voting machines, now they are doing the same thing with SB 202. We look forward to defeating another frivolous lawsuit." The Republican-led state legislature included the rules to prevent voting-buying in which the touch screen could be photographed to show how the person voted to collect payment.
Same-day vote tabulating would tell political candidates how many votes they need to win.
Georgia is one of the battleground states President Trump lost on Nov. 3 and then alleged widespread voting fraud, evidence for which has not materialized.
The four: - Observing a voter so closely that the monitor can see for whom the elector is voting.
"The oversized Dominion BMD touchscreen displays voter selections in such a way that they are clearly discernible to a person with normal vision who has a line of sight to the screen from any distance at which other people are likely to be located within a polling place," the complaint states.
Any registered voter can request one without giving a reason for not voting in person.
