Ga. electronic voting machines challenged
By DOUG GROSS, Associated Press Writer 56 minutes ago
In the latest controversy over Georgia election law, a coalition of groups opposed to the state's electronic voting machines filed a lawsuit challenging the system on Thursday.
The legal challenge, filed in Fulton County Superior Court, claims the system is illegal and unconstitutional because it fails to give voters a verifiable record showing their ballot was recorded correctly. The state started using the machines in 2002.
"If I had some evil intent and I wanted to disenfranchise an entire state, what better job could I do than what happened in 2002?" said Garland Favorito, co-founder of VoterGA, the coalition that filed the lawsuit.
The group said it is not seeking to block Tuesday's primary election and says the suit was not timed to embarrass Secretary of State Cathy Cox, who spearheaded the new voting system and is seeking the Democratic nomination for governor.
The lawsuit came a day after two rulings that said Georgia voters will not have to show a government-issued photo ID to cast a ballot this year. The primary was to have been the first election for which the IDs were required.
In a ruling Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Harold Murphy said the state's latest attempt at requiring voter photo IDs discriminated against people who don't have driver's licenses, passports or other government IDs.
"That is the failure of this legislation as it stands," he said.
In October, the judge rejected a more stringent voter ID requirement, saying it amounted to an unconstitutional poll tax because of the fees associated with getting the required ID. The Legislature this year passed a new law that made the IDs free and available in all counties.

I havnt the time to look for it but I remember reading about the creator of the electronic voting system. Or It might have been the creator of the software or someone who had something MAJOR to do with the system its self.
Anyway, Once his system was set to be used as a nation wide voting system he said openly that it was against his will and that the system had many flaws and could easily be corrupted.
Then a push was made to make this "service" nation wide for Bushes second election and WAY before it was ready and the guy (I wish I remembered his name)filed lawsuits to get it stopped.
Then that guy was found dead.
I read about this here in this forum... Im sure someone else knows what Im talking about..
