Georgia’s Republican-controlled state election board voted on Friday to require a labor-intensive hand count of potentially millions of ballots in November’s election, a move voting rights advocates say could cause delays, introduce errors and lay the groundwork for spurious election challenges.
The hand count rule, passed in a 3-2 vote, will make Georgia the only state in the U.S. to implement such a requirement as part of the normal process of tabulating results, according to Gowri Ramachandran, the director of elections and security at New York University’s Brennan Center for Justice, a left-leaning public policy institute.
The key detail is the seal on the ballot boxes - normally kept intact in case there needs to be a recount - will be broken immediately.
Post-poll ballot stuffing anyone? Well it just got a shit-ton easier. Thanks republiQan fuckwits!
They are trying to set up another gore v. Bush Florida situation, where the election is ultimately decided but the corrupt Supreme court
This from the people who’s candidate argued that the election had to be decided on election night?
its so rediculous how obvious they are and yet people still vote for this party or refuse to vote for the competition. Its not enough for them to lose at this point. they have to lose big and consistantly. I understand there are issues with our system but we have to at least retain the democracy we have while we get these folks out of the system entirely.
leave it to conservatives to force a solution to a problem that doesnt exist… creating a whole new set of problems. SOP
You are mistaken. The problem is that ballot stuffing in the US is hard. This solves that problem.
It’s not just that ballot stuffing would be easier, but also that any kind of complications can lead to delays and court cases which might go to the supreme court, which has a history of deciding who the president will be. In other words, there are multiple advantages to the shady f*** heads.
