ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia election officials say they would need six to nine months to install new software and hardware to update the state’s voting system. They also say there are still technical problems to resolve. They’re pushing back against calls to update the system before the 2024 election cycle. Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has said the state must wait until 2025. But critics say waiting until after next year’s presidential election would leave the voting equipment open to attack.
