Solving the QR Code Conundrum
LWVGA Opposes Section 1.1
When the Georgia legislature announced that it would not take up the issue of redistricting in the special session currently underway, they left open the issue of how to deal with the replacement of QR codes on ballots by July 1. SB189 was passed in 2024 but no funding was ever allocated for the necessary change in technology despite budgeting in two subsequent legislative sessions.
Last week Sen. Max Burns proposed SB3EX to form an Election Equipment Specifications and Standards Committee to make decisions about how we vote.
The proposal was formulated by only one party. In fact, Sen. Derek Mallow, said he was not even invited to the meeting. The bill also does not mandate that any one of the nine-member committee should be from the minority party. Three members would be gubernatorial appointees, three would be assigned by the Senate and three from the House appointed by the Speaker. They can take advice from other sources, among them the Secretary of State’s office, but the elected official in charge of elections would not sit on the committee. The State Board of Elections, another potential advisor with plenty of complaints about our current voting system, is also not on the committee.
The bill also expands the number of risk-limiting audits from two to eight. This may add to voter confidence in the results but adds to the workload of election managers around the state post-election. More risk-limiting audits will also need more funding.
And then...Section 1.1
What looked like a done deal from a body in a hurry to adjourn for summer plans and fall campaigning underwent a subsequent amendment. The bill now also calls for the top two races in any election to undergo a hand recount. If the hand count differs from the machine tabulation, documents needed to certify the outcome will be corrected.
The audit following the May 19 primary showed that the results were 99.99% accurate. Of the 2 million ballots audited, only 159 discrepancies were found. The vast majority of those—143—were from hand-marked ballots. Human error introduces weaknesses to a system that works almost flawlessly, securely and accurately.
This amendment in Section 1.1:
--Adds yet more work for county election officials
--Will be impossible to fulfill before the election certification deadline
--Will introduce inaccuracies
--Is unfunded, yet again
The League of Women Voters of Georgia opposes Section 1.1 of this bill. If your representative serves on the Governmental Affairs Committee, call them to demand that they reject the new section in its entirety.
The Election Equipment Specifications and Standards Committee is charged with submitting a report by Jan. 31, 2027, on new uniform elections equipment with the goal of budgeting, appropriating funds and procuring the equipment in time for the 2028 election.
The timeline works and it is clear in the committee meeting that without significant citizen pushback, passage is a foregone conclusion. They accepted no public comments except in writing. They accepted no amendments from the minority party. They’re in a hurry and want to go home. ... See MoreSee Less

🚨 CALL TO ACTION:
Tell the House to Reject the Hand-Recount Amendment to SB 3EX
A last-minute floor amendment to SB 3EX would force every Georgia county to hand-recount the top two races on every ballot before certifying any election. It's less accurate, unfunded, and can't be done in time. ⏳
📣 THE ASK:
Ask the House Governmental Affairs Committee to reject Section 1.1 of SB 3EX — the mandatory hand-recount — in its entirety.
⭐ IS YOUR REP ON THIS COMMITTEE? YOUR CALL COUNTS MOST.
Lawmakers listen hardest to the people they represent. If your representative sits on the House Governmental Affairs Committee, you have real pull on this vote — please call AND email today. 📞✉️
Why it matters — the big points:
🎯 Less accurate. Hand counts make more mistakes than our scanners — and this lets the error-prone hand count override the machine count.
💰 Unfunded. No money attached. Counties pay for the staff and overtime — small and rural counties hit hardest, every election.
⏱️ No time. Counties must certify by the Monday after Election Day (it's the law). You can't hand-count millions of ballots before then.
✅ There's a better way. SB 3EX already expands risk-limiting audits — accurate, affordable verification. Reject Section 1.1. Keep the audit.
📝 Copy, paste, send:
"As your constituent and a Georgia voter, I urge you to reject Section 1.1 of SB 3EX in its entirety — the floor amendment that adds a mandatory hand-recount. Hand counts are less accurate than our scanners, the mandate is unfunded for our counties, and it can't be finished before the certification deadline. The bill already includes risk-limiting audits — that's the right way to verify results. Please strike this amendment and protect accurate, on-time elections."
