 - PRESS RELEASE FROM GEORGIA GOP

ATLANTA – An independent study conducted by computer experts from Johns Hopkins University and Rice University released yesterday concluded that the computer voting system implemented by Secretary of State Cathy Cox is “highly vulnerable to fraud” and includes “significant security flaws.”

The system, which Cox recommended the state purchase, cost over $54 million.

“When the state buys a system with a $54 million price tag, it should not come with serious security flaws,” said Marty Klein, Communications Director for the Georgia Republican Party. “Obviously, someone didn’t do their homework.”

Secretary Cox has taken full credit for bringing the machines to Georgia. According to her campaign website, “Her [Cathy Cox’s] bill to require new uniform voting equipment for all Georgia counties passed the General Assembly nearly unanimously. Cathy believes Georgians deserve voting equipment they can have 100 percent confidence in, and she won’t quit fighting until those reforms are fully achieved.”

“I’m glad Cathy Cox says that she will not rest until all Georgians have full confidence in these voting machines,” said Klein. “Given this study, it looks like she will have many long nights ahead of her as she tries to solve this problem.”

“Fraud in our voting system is no laughing matter,” continued Klein. “The time has come for a full, independent review of the voting system, and how the state could spend $54 million for a system with such serious flaws.”
