Ballots will be printed with a watermark for the 2024 presidential election under a new bill passed by the state House on Wednesday in the great state of….
GEORGIA!
That’s right, the Peach state is OVER the counterfeit ballots and cheating tactics of the left.
BREAKING: Georgia State House voted 167-1 to pass a bill requiring all ballots to have official watermarks on them to prevent counterfeiting.

AJC reports:
The watermark would label both in-person and absentee ballots as “official Georgia ballots,” allowing election workers to quickly check their authenticity. Ballots are already printed on security paper that can be verified by an infrared scanner.
Adding watermarks to ballots comes with a one-time $110,000 cost to the state government to change Georgia’s ballot printing process.
Sounds like money well spent if you ask me.
Good start, not nearly good enough.
Paper only, signature & ID.
Ancient tech.Ain't that hard.

“This is a low-cost, high-value measure,” Rep. John LaHood, exlpainedl. “The voter can see it with their eyes. … This is a visible security feature that will be printed on the ballots.”
They believe that the watermark measure, also known as House Bill 976, will help restore faith in voting after many people (myself included) lost that confidence following former President Donald Trump’s “loss” in 2020.
In the latest poll by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, 57% of voters said in January that they were at least somewhat confident this year’s election would be fair and accurate. Just 45% of conservative voters in the poll expressed confidence, compared with 76% of liberals and 63% of moderates.
The House approved the watermark legislation on a vote of 167-1, with only Democratic state Rep. Angela Moore of Stonecrest opposed. The bill now advances to the state Senate.
We need all 50 states to have this measure.
Hope this works !!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m all in for this and anything that stops voter fraud.
Go Georgia! That is the only way Democrats can ‘win’ elections – lie, cheat, steal. ‘It’s not important who they vote for. It is important who counts the votes’ — Joseph Stalin.
AMEN and All IDS checked and a system should show DOUBLE Voting and its easy to do if they do the software to check.
Every state should do this but those ruled by devildemocommiecrats won’t because FRAUD is how they seize and hold onto power!!!! Personal wealth and power is what they want and won’t give it up!!!!!!!!!!
This may just instill a false sense of security because it can’t stop unscrupulous persons who order the ballots for the state. What’s to prevent thousands of “extra” ballots, complete with “official” watermarks, from being printed, completed in secret and then mailed-in or dropped in their drop boxes? So if it has an official watermark, and it is completed “correctly”, it will be counted.
Besides, with current technologies, watermarks can be forged as easily as the rest of the ballot. Where ever the ballots are printed, they have the “security” paper in stock. This security paper is manufactured somewhere. Everything is for sale for the right price, including the highest office in the land.
Yes, it’s a step in the right direction, but it’s far from fail-safe. Never under estimate the power and ability of people who will use the ends to justify the means in gaining what they want.
