A long running dispute over the security of Georgia’s elections and its voting machines came to a head Tuesday morning in an Atlanta courtroom.
Opening statements began in the federal trial examining whether the Dominion Voting Systems machines used in Georgia can be hacked or manipulated, making their use in elections unconstitutional.
The case dates to 2017 and was filed by several voters and the Coalition for Good Governance against members of the State Election Board and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. The plaintiffs say they’re not disputing any election results in Georgia, and their case is unrelated to the 2020 election and the defamation lawsuits brought by Dominion against Fox News and others.
“There is no evidence of a single vote being altered in Georgia because of malware,” said Bryan Tyson, one of the defense attorneys for Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. Plaintiffs argue Georgia’s system is susceptible to breaches because unauthorized people were able to access and copy data from the machines.
