A Fulton County judge has rejected a lawsuit challenging electronic voting machines in Georgia. Superior Court Judge Michael Johnson also refused to declare the machines unconstitutional. He issued summary judgment on behalf of the state, which said the voting machines are reliable and that there have been no documented cases of fraud. A coalition of groups calling itself Voter Georgia argued the system is illegal and unconstitutional because it fails to give voters a record showing their ballot was recorded correctly. The state started using the machines in 2002, becoming the first in the nation to implement such a system statewide.
