Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Judge rejects more emergency paper ballot backups at Georgia polls

U.S. District Judge Amy Totenberg on Monday ruled against a request by Common Cause Georgia to ensure that voting could continue on backup paper ballots when technical difficulties occur.

Common Cause, an organization that advocates for fair elections, had filed an amicus brief urging Totenberg to provide enough paper ballots for 40% of registered voters on Election Day.

“We are disappointed that the court did not grant the relief we requested,” said Aunna Dennis, executive director for Common Cause Georgia . “It’s clear that the demand for these ballots will be extremely high in this election and will far exceed the statutory minimum of 10%.”
