Group says state’s voting machines aren’t safe

A national election transparency advocacy group is calling on Georgia to abandon use of the state's voting machines.

Marilyn Marks, executive director with the Charlotte-based Coalition for Good Governance, said she believes the state's voting system is compromised and should not be used in next week's election.

Her group, which is suing the state to force it to overhaul its election technology, says election workers should switch to paper ballots instead. But Secretary of State Brian Kemp's office said it stands by the voting system.
