Lawsuit demands election results thrown out for Georgia's 6th Cong District

ATLANTA (CBS46) -
A Colorado-based watchdog group along with six Georgia voters have filed a lawsuit in Fulton County Superior Court, claiming the state's election system was compromised and left unprotected from intruders for months.
As a result, the plaintiffs say the results of the District 6 congressional special election runoff should be tossed out, and there should be a new runoff election.
"It’s not a red issue. It’s not a blue issue," said Sandra Sidhom, a 25-year-old real estate agent from Roswell who is leading a petition drive to try to convince Kemp to make voting system changes. She’s not part of the lawsuit, but she shares the same concerns the plaintiffs have. They want Georgia to upgrade its voting system. According to the lawsuit, the same paperless, touch-screen voting machines have been used since 2002, and the plaintiffs say they haven’t had an operating system upgrade in more than a decade.
“Have you ever had a piece of electronic equipment from 2002 other than maybe a calculator?" asked Sidhom. "This is the most sacred part of our democracy, and to leave it up to chance to something that can be easily manipulated, like our current system, is just unacceptable to me and so many of my neighbors.”
Sidhom planned to meet with Kemp's election director Chris Harvey Wednesday morning , but she said Harvey canceled the meeting because of the lawsuit.
“All I’m asking for in reality is put a printer on the voting machine," she said. "Like literally give me a receipt for my vote so I know I voted.”

Yeah, I bet.

Yes...the computer system we use in our state prison system was developed in the mid 1980's. Why do we still use it? Because it still does a good job.

Surprising to some, the seven plaintiffs in the lawsuit are not all Democrats. Coalition for Good Governance is led by Marilyn Marks, a Republican. Plaintiff Ricardo Davis is state chairman of the conservative Constitution Party of Georgia. They and the other plaintiffs claim state and local elections officials ignored warnings for months that Georgia’s election system had been compromised and left unprotected from intruders.

Right. Lying bish. She would be dancing in the street like a high hippy if Toddy's man crush would have won.
They can't be honest.

If they have evidence to show the election was compromised, then I support the effort to clean things up.
If their premise is simply that the machines are old, then it sounds way too much like sour grapes.

Jill Stein is outraged by this waste of time and taxpayer money.
As she sips another Pina Colada on the dolts money they sent her.

Like including voter ID to ensure the appropriate voters are actually voting?

Yep...all the more reason for someone to carry a damn ID to go vote. I guess this watchdog group is on top of it.

Here we go again. The left wants to vote and vote and vote again until they get the results that suits them.
