ATLANTA — Both Georgia election officials and critics of the state's voting touchscreens asked a federal judge Thursday to release a confidential report that describes how a hacker could attempt to change votes.
The calls for disclosure come a day after The Atlanta Journal-Constitution published an article on the findings of University of Michigan computer science professor Alex Halderman, who detailed vulnerabilities of Georgia's voting equipment in a sealed court document.
There's no sign of tampering with the state's Dominion Voting Systems equipment in the 2020 election, according to audits and experts, but Halderman's report outlined risks for upcoming elections this year. Halderman is an expert for plaintiffs in a lawsuit seeking to replace Georgia's voting system that prints out paper ballots, instead using paper ballots filled out by hand.
