On September 17, a federal judge will hear attorneys' arguments in
the Georgia paper ballot lawsuit. News 3 talked to the candidates for
Congressional District 1 and both agree secure elections are important
for democracy, even if it costs some money.
Georgia and four other
states do not use paper ballots as a backup for electronic voting
machines. In Washington, a group of bi-partisan lawmakers are banding to
mandate the extra security measure across the nation. But right now,
the Secretary of State, Brian Kemp is facing a federal lawsuit because
he's reluctant to make the change before the upcoming November 6
election. While Kemp says he does agree the system needs updating,
he's fighting to delay it citing confusion and cost.
Representative
Buddy Carter/(R) Georgia 1st District says voter security is not about
money, "I don't think there's any question that we need to spend a
little bit of extra to make sure we have safe and secure elections."
