Voting Machine Found Dumped On The Side Of The Road In Georgia

GARDEN CITY, Ga. (WTOC) - An unusual find Thursday in Garden City off Dean Forest Road.

A man outside the Blueberry Hill Bar and Grill discovered what appears to be some type of voting equipment. It was found off the road in a grassy area.

WTOC has contacted the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office. They are looking into the situation. They say it appears to be older voting equipment - not equipment used this year during the elections.

The communications department said that all of Georgia’s old voting equipment was collected before the new equipment was distributed to counties. That old equipment is in storage.

The Secretary of State’s Office did say that some of the old voting equipment is being stored in secured warehouse space at the Georgia Ports in Chatham County.

The man who discovered the equipment describes how he spotted it.

“I was on a phone call out here and looked over. What I thought was a solar panel was actually a briefcase with a voting machine. The local police was here and asked how we found and what I saw. Then from there, the Georgia Bureau of Investigations arrived, and they asked the same type of questions,” Jeff Davis, who found the equipment, said.
