The State Election Board’s Executive Director James Mills has requested that the Trump administration investigate Georgia’s voting machines, which are used statewide, and prohibit the counting of votes via QR codes. In letters sent to U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche and other federal officials on Wednesday, Mills urged the U.S. Justice Department to implement additional security measures prior to the midterm elections. He also requested a six-month deadline for the state to eliminate the use of QR codes on ballots for vote tallying. This change would necessitate a significant overhaul of Georgia's in-person voting process, which currently depends on scanners that read QR codes on ballots to count votes.
