Georgia faces election crisis as QR code tabulation ban takes effect July 1 with no replacement system funded

Georgia faces election crisis as QR code tabulation ban takes effect July 1 with no replacement system funded

Georgia Legislature (passed 2024 ban); counties (facing compliance crisis)

Notes

2024 law bans QR code tabulation starting July 1, 2026, but legislature adjourned without funding or approving a replacement. House passed a compromise extending deadline to 2028; Senate Republicans declined to take it up. Special session or lawsuit likely needed. Current system uses Dominion (now Liberty Vote) machines.

Coverage Gap

None — covered across the spectrum. Right-leaning outlets (Daily Signal) frame it as a necessary security upgrade; left-leaning outlets emphasize the logistical chaos.
