Machines down in Georgia! “Here we go ladies. Went to my poll at Blackwell in Cobb county not a single computer was working. The “fixer” that came couldn’t fix it. Had to vote on a provisional ballot. Called Cobb Election Bd I knew more then they did.” 1/
2/ I don’t know if it’s electronic poll books or the voting machines but I asked. Voter was given a provisional ballot. cc: @markniesse #gapol
3/ This is from a private FB group.
4/ Update: it’s the electronic pollbooks. Like the voting machines, the pollbooks were supplied by Diebold, now ES&S, which is the vendor from whom Kemp wants to buy touchscreen barcode ballot markers.
5/ Update from another GA voter: “I Called Janine Eveler with Cobb Board of Elections...She said the issue with the poll books was, the workers plugged it into a defective power switch... I asked her if they have a paper back up of the poll book, she said no.”
6/ Questions all should ask Cobb County: Why didn’t the polling place have paper backup list for the predictable problem of electronic pollbooks failing? What type of ID do people need in order to have provisional ballots counted? How can u observe counting of the provisionals?
