Raffensperger Budget Request to Senate Appropriations Subcommittee

The Georgia Secretary of State’s (SOS) recent presentation to the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on the QR Code Removal Project raises serious questions about the state’s priorities and its commitment to election security, transparency, and compliance with the law. The $65,981,895 price tag to remove QR codes from ballot marking devices (BMDs) is staggering, but even more concerning is the SOS’s recommendation to ignore the mandate of SB189 and Georgia’s election law (O.C.G.A. 21-2-300) altogether. This decision not only undermines public trust but also perpetuates the use of a deeply flawed and insecure voting system. For more information, go to www.georgiansfortruth.org.
