voting machines

Georgia's State Election Board has asked the Trump administration to assist in pursuing action against the state's voting machines. The request signals a renewed push by election officials in Georgia to scrutinize the state's voting equipment, a system that has been the focus of contested claims and litigation since the 2020 election. The move raises fresh questions about the future of Georgia's election infrastructure.

Voters in Pulaski and Amherst, Virginia, will decide on ballots whether to allow Rosie's Gaming Emporium to operate in their localities. The measures would permit the gaming venue, which offers historical horse racing machines, to open facilities there. The outcome will determine whether the towns join other Virginia localities that already host Rosie's locations and receive associated tax revenue.

Georgia's State Election Board has passed a resolution urging an update to the software used in the state's voting machines. The measure stops short of mandating the change but signals growing official attention to the security and reliability of election equipment ahead of upcoming contests. Election officials and security advocates have long debated how quickly voting technology should be patched.
