    When Georgia voters cast ballots in person, they use Dominion ballot marking devices, which then print a paper ballot with a QR code and text indicating the voter’s choices. Scanners read the QR code to tabulate ballots. But legislators say voters tell them they distrust the codes because they can’t be sure they’ll match their choices.

    That’s not a bad idea all by itself. As someone points out in the article, though, there isn’t enough time to get all the new scanners in place before the next election so the timing will create some chaos. I suspect that, even if the chaos is not one of the main goals, it is at least a bonus.
