Images of Georgia ballots quietly become public The release will highlight a quiet shift in the level of secrecy around the ballots that drive elections – but not necessarily in a bad way. Author: Doug Richards Updated: 8:10 PM EDT May 26, 2021 ATLANTA — This week, a judge is expected to release images of thousands of ballots cast in the November election. That’s in response to a lawsuit claiming irregularities in the November election. The release will highlight a quiet shift in the level of secrecy around the ballots that drive elections – but not necessarily in a bad way. Ballot secrecy is enshrined in the Georgia constitution.
