<Snip>Dominion, based in Denver, must rush to install 30,000 voting machines for 7 million Georgia voters before the March 24 presidential primary, the largest rollout of elections equipment in U.S. history. Most voters in Tuesday’s local elections will cast ballots on Georgia’s 17-year-old machines, and voters in six counties are testing Dominion’s machines.
The company faces intense scrutiny in Georgia, one of the most competitive states in the nation entering an election year featuring President Donald Trump and two U.S. Senate seats on the ballot. The challenge for Dominion is to seamlessly introduce computer-printed paper ballots in a state criticized last year over allegations of vote flipping, missing voter registrations, precinct closures, long lines and voter purges.
Voters in six counties are already trying out Georgia’s new voting equipment during local elections on Tuesday.
Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and county election officials have said there have been few problems with the initial rollout of the new voting system.
Some minor issues were reported on the first day of in-person early voting. Voter check-in computers weren’t hooked up correctly initially and election workers had trouble programming voter access cards in Paulding County. Those issues were resolved within the first few minutes after polls opened.
