Georgia official's dismissal of security audit raises concerns for 2024.

Georgia's Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, has dismissed an audit conducted by security expert Alex Halderman, which found dangerous vulnerabilities in Georgia's widely used voting machine software. Cybersecurity specialists have criticised Raffensperger for painting legitimate research with the brush of far-right conspiracy theories and imperiling the 2024 elections in the process. Raffensperger's decision not to fix these systems represents "the height of irresponsibility," Halderman said. The fight for the legitimacy of the 2024 vote in Georgia is already well under way.
