In addition to allowing barcode records, the bill fails in other ways:
1) SB403 doesn't permit election audits until 2024 unless the Sec of State agrees.
2) SB403 lets vendors sell uncertified systems; most states require approved systems that meet federal EAC certification. /3

3) SB403 allows Atlanta and other cities to continue to use unauditable electronic touchscreens.
4) In SB403, recounts will be conducted by merely rescanning the barcodes (assuring that the results will be the same as the original “count”). Smoke and mirrors recounts. /4
