Georgia to buy $100 million Unverifiable Voting System
Bait & Switch SOS Video Fools Media, Civic Groups
ATLANTA, GA – Secretary of State (SOS) Brad Raffensperger announced Monday his office will replace its current unverifiable electronic voting system with another type of unverifiable system. Voters using the chosen Image Cast (ICX) ballot marking device (BMD) from Dominion Voting Systems’ $106 million bid will employ touchscreens to print only their selections on a piece of paper.

They also cannot see a full paper ballot with referendum language and unselected candidates.
