I'm Ben Thomas with an AP News Minute. It's unclear right now how voters in Georgia will be casting their ballots in the midterm elections this November. Donna Warder explains. There's a July deadline for Georgia's voting system to be overhauled, but the state general assembly has ended its annual session without a plan for new equipment. Right now voters use Dominion voting machines, which print ballots with a QR code that scanners read to count the votes. Those machines have been repeatedly targeted by President Donald Trump following his election laws in 2020. Trump's Georgia supporters enacted a law in 2024 that bans the use of barcodes to count votes. But state laws still requires counties to use the machines, and no money has been allocated to reprogram them. Victor Anderson, chairman of the House Governmental Affairs Committee, says, will have an unresolvable statutory conflict come July 1st. I'm Donna Warder. I'm Ben Thomas.
