Louisiana election lawsuit claims voting system unconstitutional over lack of paper ballots, audits

BATON ROUGE — A group of Louisiana residents has filed a lawsuit in the 19th Judicial District Court, arguing the state’s election system, including the software used in voting machines, is unconstitutional.

The lawsuit names the Secretary of State and Commissioner of Elections and argues Louisiana cannot legally verify or recount votes because ballots are not counted by hand.

It also challenges the state’s use of proprietary voting software, arguing the system is not publicly accessible and lacks transparency required under Louisiana’s constitution.

Philip Callais, a member of the West Baton Rouge Parish Board of Election Supervisors, is the lead plaintiff. He argues the current system violates the constitution’s requirement that ballots be counted publicly..
