Judge dismisses Republican lawsuit alleging voting machine vulnerabilities
A judge threw out a DeKalb County Republican Party lawsuit Friday that claimed Georgia’s voting system was made vulnerable by the public disclosure of security features and computer code.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee dismissed the case because Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger complied with state law when he certified the Dominion voting system as “safe and practicable” before it went into use in 2020.
Raffensperger has defended the security of Georgia’s voting machines, saying that alleged vulnerabilities to hacking or malware couldn’t be exploited in real-world conditions.
Voting computers are protected by locks, seals and election workers in precincts. Equipment is tested before elections, and results are verified with audits and recounts.
