Judge dismisses lawsuit that sought to ban Alabama’s electronic vote-counting machines

Montgomery County Circuit Judge Greg Griffin has dismissed a lawsuit against state officials that claimed the electronic ballot-scanning machines used to tabulate votes in Alabama are unreliable because they could be hacked over the internet to change results. Griffin agreed with the lawyers from the Alabama attorney general’s office, who said the claims were based on speculation and asked for the dismissal. The state’s lawyers said the machines are not equipped to connect to the internet and it would take a series of improbable actions to carry out the potential tampering and vote-changing that is the basis of the lawsuit.
