A Georgia judge has dismissed a lawsuit challenging the security of the state's voting machines. The lawsuit, brought by GOP officials, argued that the machines were defective and posed security risks, with vulnerabilities identified at trial. Judge Scott McAfee ruled that there is no ongoing legal obligation for Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to ensure the voting machines are safe and practicable for use after their 2019 implementation. The ruling, made in Fulton County, comes as the state prepares for the upcoming general election.
