Savannah, GA - On September 17, a federal judge will hear attorneys' arguments in the Georgia paper ballot lawsuit. News 3 talked to the candidates for Congressional District 1 and both agree secure elections are important for democracy, even if it costs some money.

Georgia and four other states do not use paper ballots as a backup for electronic voting machines. In Washington, a group of bi-partisan lawmakers are banding to mandate the extra security measure across the nation. But right now, the Secretary of State, Brian Kemp is facing a federal lawsuit because he's reluctant to make the change before the upcoming November 6 election. While Kemp says he does agree the system needs updating, he's fighting to delay it citing confusion and cost.

Representative Buddy Carter/(R) Georgia 1st District says voter security is not about money, "I don't think there's any question that we need to spend a little bit of extra to make sure we have safe and secure elections."

In 2017, an investigation into the current system which uses 15 year old voting kiosks, was determined in serious jeopardy. But nothing was done. Instead, several databases with vital information was missing that could've assisted in the remedy.
