State Sen. William Ligon, the bill’s chief defender in the chamber, said the barcode devices and hand-marked paper ballots were equally at risk of hacking. That’s just not the case, researchers said. Republican Sen. Greg Dolezal, too, said the “hackability” of various voting systems was “uniform,” despite the widespread consensus from technical experts that it’s not.
“Their unwillingness to get answers to even basic questions about the technology they voted for is a dereliction of duty to the voters and taxpayers in our state,” she told POLITICO in an email. The overwhelming majority of other voting security experts also warns against ballot-marking technology. “We should pause today and reflect on that,” Henson said.Ligon, who praised ballot-marking devices as “the technology of today built upon the experience of the past,” repeatedly demonstrated what experts called a lack of understanding about the cybersecurity implications of using computers to generate ballots, based on his comments during the Senate debate on the bill.
