Against the backdrop of concerns about Georgia voter registration practices, it's important to remember that Georgia uses voting machines that have no paper trail - meaning it's very difficult for voters or auditors to independently verify that votes were accurately tallied.

Citizens everywhere should press state and local governments for answers on what they're doing to make sure vote counts are accurate and that elections are secure and error-free. And we all need to register, show up, and vote.
