Raffensperger suggests he is simply ‘protecting the public’s interest’ in allowing only the ballot images to be used, and not the actual paper records.
The Secretary respectfully requests that the Court permit Petitioners to inspect ballot images only, and deny Petitioners’ request to inspect and scan ballots.
Raffensperger wants VoterGA to only have access to the ‘images’ that were created by equipment furnished by the GA Secretary of State’s office and not the actual ballots that show the intended anonymous vote of GA citizens.
The Elections Code is furthermore clear that it is only authorized elections officials who are legally permitted to verify and tabulate ballots in an election.
Raffensperger declares that only he is allowed to see what actually happened.
Moreover, the scanning and tabulation of ballots is only permitted under Georgia law to be conducted on the equipment selected and furnished by the State of Georgia. There is simply no legal basis for unauthorized third parties such as Petitioners to electronically scan ballots using their own equipment in order to conduct their own independent tabulation of ballots.
He doesn’t want any outside technology that can detect counterfeit ballots.
