New Report Published: Seven-County “SLOG” Analysis Reveals Systemic Voting System Failures and Non-Compliance with Federal and Georgia Law

ATLANTA, GA — Today at the Georgia State Capitol, researchers released a comprehensive analysis of 2024 General Election scanner logs (SLOG files) from Bibb, Cherokee, Fayette, Floyd, Grady, Gwinnett, and Houston counties. The report, “Georgia 2024 General Election SLOG File Report – Seven County Analysis,” alleges that every county analyzed failed to meet federal and state accuracy standards, indicating a systemic software issue rather than isolated human error.

Critical Findings:

• 716,794 total errors logged across 872,052 ballots reviewed.
• 22,481 “QR Code Signature Mismatches”—a category the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) classifies as a “SECURITY ERROR.”
• 299,412 ballot reversals (misfeeds), affecting an average of 26.95% of ballots.
• Extreme Non-Compliance: Error rates exceeded federal standards by 52,000× to 155,000× across all seven jurisdictions.

“Across seven very different counties—large and small, urban and rural—the same categories of failures appear again and again,” said Sam Carnline, co-founder of GeorgiansForTruth.org. “The variation in scale does not reduce the seriousness; it underscores that this is systemic. When the same classes of errors show up across jurisdictions with very different staffing, turnout, and workflows, the common denominator is the electronic voting system itself.”

Legal & Regulatory Impact:
The report argues these findings violate 52 U.S.C. § 21081(5) and O.C.G.A. § 21-2-374, which requires an “errorless count” for scanner approval. Co-author Mark Swanson noted, “If the machines cannot produce an election that meets Federal Standards under US Code, they CANNOT be used in Federal Elections.  Doing so knowingly and willingly would be a criminal act against the Federal Government and jeopardize good people unknowingly committing crimes for simply managing our elections on faulty equipment.  Furthermore, it would be a violation of The Georgia State Constitution as elections must be in accordance with procedures provided by law.”

“The variation from small to large counties proves this is a systemic problem with the electronic voting system,” said Field Searcy, co-author and co-founder of Georgians For Truth. “When the same failure patterns appear in both rural Grady County and urban Gwinnett County, it points to a software defect that demands immediate remediation.”
