Georgia election software flaw risks voter ballot secrecy
A software flaw in Georgia's voting systems could allow voters' choices to be linked to their identities, threatening ballot secrecy. Researchers found that AI tools can reverse the randomization of electronic ballot records, potentially matching names to votes. While officials are restricting public access to sensitive records, critics argue the only proper fix is to stop recording traceable data. The state election board rejected a proposal to force a software update, citing funding and certification issues, leaving the vulnerability unresolved before the November midterms.
