See YOU at the Gold Dome!
Georgia,
For 24 years, we have been voting outside the law.
Georgia’s voting machines print a paper ballot that voters are supposed to be able to read and verify. Instead, the only thing that actually counts is a proprietary QR code that no voter can read — not you, not your phone, not anyone except the machine’s software. This directly violates both Georgia law (O.C.G.A. 21-2-300) and federal law (HAVA Title III, Section 301).
Two years ago, the legislature passed SB 189 and set a deadline of July 1, 2026 to remove the QR code. Now, during the Special Session that begins June 17, they are trying to push that deadline back to 2028.
This is unacceptable.
The solution already exists in Georgia law. O.C.G.A. 21-2-334 allows counties to switch to hand-marked paper ballots when the electronic system is impracticable — and counties are already using this method for absentee and provisional ballots. Seventy percent of Americans already vote this way.
In the most recent primary, nearly 90% of Republican voters said they want hand-marked paper ballots. The people have spoken clearly — twice.
Here’s what you need to do right now:
1. Call your State Senator and State Representative today.
2. Tell them: Keep the July 1, 2026 deadline. No extensions. Switch to hand-marked paper ballots using the backup procedures.
3. This Special Session could last several days. We need sustained pressure the entire time.
Forward this email to your family, friends, and neighbors and ask them to call too. This only works if we show up in large numbers.

No more delays.
No more unverifiable QR codes.
It’s time to make Georgia’s elections legal and verifiable again.
