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.
Georgia has almost 7.6 million eligible voters Source
So Georgia is gonna hand count. Riiight. 🙄
There are 7.6 million voters in Georgia. I think your copy paste got messed up somehow
The quote you chose from that source is a bit misleading. 7.6 million voting eligible people in Georgia. Still an insane amount of votes to count.
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.
Donald Trump: It took 12 days to count in Metro Atlanta by a bunch of Trump hating liberals. Rigged!!!
This is going to take a long time and plenty of time for MAGA people to screw it up.
The party of fiscal responsibility really showing up!
We could have a machine count that is faster, cheaper, AND more accurate… but let’s spend millions of dollars to pay a whole bunch of people to slowly count millions of votes, some of whom might have political motivations to not be 100% accurate or who are, you know, humans who constantly make small mistakes when doing repetitive tasks.
