GA SOS Has Failed to Certify Urgent, CISA-Recommended Voting Software Update

3. Considering the various voter repression laws the Republicans passed after 2020, can anyone

trust that 2024 will be a fair election? Democrats need to be registering new voters now and making those registrations get processed. As I recall, the current governor sat on thousands of registrations and did not get them processed in time for the election when he was Secretary of State. Plus, they need to make sure elections officials in Fulton County have everything well organized. I think the new laws gave the legislature the right to take over the voting and counting in that county.

Same in Texas. The legislature will take over the counting in Harris County. I foresee many mail ballots being discarded for nebulous reasons or many voters’ registrations somehow questionable, forcing them to cast provisional ballots that will never be counted. I can’t recall now if this was in the final legislation, but the legislature also plan to require people to vote only in their precincts on election day instead of anywhere in the county. This requirement has not been well publicized and could prevent many people from voting on election day, especially since the state has closed many precincts in minority districts to make their voting lines longer.
