There's uncertainty on how voters in Georgia will cast to their ballots in November.
AP correspondent Donna Warder reports,
There's a July deadline for Georgia's voting system to be overhauled.
The state general assembly has ended its annual session without a plan for new equipment.
Right now voters use Dominion voting machines, which print ballots with a QR code
that scanners read to count the votes.
Those machines have been repeatedly targeted by President Donald Trump,
following his election laws in 2020.
Trump's Georgia supporters enacted a law in 2024
that bans the use of barcodes to count votes.
But state laws still requires counties to use the machines,
and no money has been allocated to reprogram them.
Victor Anderson, chairman of the House Governmental Affairs Committee, says
will have an unresolvable statutory conflict come July 1.
