Pro-Trump Georgia election board votes to require hand counts of ballots

 The Georgia State Election Board approved a rule Friday requiring counties in the critical presidential battleground to hand-count all ballots this year, potentially upending the November election by delaying the reporting of results.

The change was spearheaded by a pro-Trump majority that has enacted a series of changes to the state’s election rules in recent weeks and approved the hand-count requirement despite a string of public commenters who begged them not to.

Critics included democracy advocates who accused the board of intentionally injecting chaos and uncertainty into the presidential contest, as well as election supervisors and poll workers who said hand counts would take too long, cost money and almost certainly produce counting errors. The office of the Republican state attorney general, which is responsible for advising the board, wrote in an opinion that the change was unlawful.

Remember the Cyber Ninjas?


Of course no one can forget Hugo Chaves' ghost flipping votes from Trump to Biden using Domination Voting Machines.

All of this is being to sow doubt in the outcome of the presidential election in November if the orange one isn't the winner.
