Georgia’s election board asked the Justice Department to seize voting machines, in a letter sent on September 30. Board member Janelle Mills wrote to Attorney General Blanche with the request. The move targets Dominion machines using software version 5.5-A, called Liberty Vote. The machines print paper ballots with QR codes. Critics say QR codes cannot be verified by voters. The state board passed a 3-2 resolution on September 28 calling for federal action. Early voting in Georgia starts on October 13. The request has deepened the fight over election security. Supporters of the move cite transparency concerns. Opponents call it a political stunt. The Justice Department has not said whether it will act. Georgia was a key battleground in recent elections. Its voting systems remain under intense national scrutiny. Voting rights groups are divided, with some backing the request and others warning it could undermine confidence. The board meets again next week to discuss next steps.
