Georgia was going to dump voting machines that Trump hates until things got complicated

ATLANTA (AP) — It seemed like the stars had aligned for Republicans to get rid of their biggest targets — Georgia's touch screen voting machines.

But the complicated reality of changing voting systems has gotten in the way, despite the ascent of 2020 election deniers into influential places in state government and the second Donald Trump administration.

Instead, it is looking increasingly likely that Georgia voters will still be casting ballots this November on the machines from Dominion Voting Systems, which was bought by a company called Liberty Vote. The machines print a paper ballot with a QR code, a type of barcode, that scanners use to tally votes.

The president and his allies continue to allege the machines deleted or switched votes in 2020, despite no supporting evidence and big money paid to Dominion in defamation settlements. Trump in March 2025 issued an executive order that purported to mostly ban the use of a barcodes in vote-counting and demand that voters be able to read their recorded selections. A federal judge blocked the provision in a lawsuit brought by the state of Washington.
