ATLANTA — Georgia election officials began testing voting equipment this week, an essential step to help ensure that 34,000 touchscreens and 4,000 ballot scanners will count votes correctly in this fall’s election.
The process, called logic and accuracy testing, is a routine but important safeguard amid heightened concern about election integrity and security.
Testing of voting equipment manufactured by Dominion Voting Systems can detect if a voting computer fails to display a candidate’s name, prints ballots incorrectly or tabulates voter choices erroneously.
