The Georgia Election Board has just ordered all ballots in the 2024 Election to be counted by hand, in a move to ensure election integrity.
The new rule states that hand counted ballots must match the numbers from the vote counting machines.

From Market Watch:
Georgia’s State Election Board on Friday voted to approve a new rule that requires poll workers to count the number of paper ballots by hand after voting is completed, a change that critics worry could delay the reporting of election night results.
The board’s decision went against the advice of the state attorney general’s office, the secretary of state’s office and an association of county election officials. Three Republican board members who were praised by former President Donald Trump during a rally last month in Atlanta voted to approve the measure, while the lone Democrat on the board and the nonpartisan chair voted to reject it.
The leftist MSM is losing their minds over this!
The straightforward and practical rule to hand-count ballots, in order to prevent voting machine fraud, is being called “controversial” and “inviting chaos.”

Kyle Griffin of MSMBC says this move could “uphend the entire election”:
Breaking:
Less than 50 days before the election, pro-Trump allies on the Georgia State Election Board just approved a rule requiring counties to hand-count *all ballots* this year — potentially upending the entire election by delaying reporting of results by weeks if not months.…

NBC News reported on all the controversy surrounding Georgia’s new ballot-counting rule:
The Georgia State Election Board on Friday voted 3-2 to require counties to hand-count ballots cast on Election Day, a move that could drastically lengthen the amount of time to tally results in a critical battleground state.
The move, which will require poll workers to open up ballot boxes and count the number of ballots by hand at the end of the night, was approved by three board members who’ve been praised by former President Donald Trump, and was opposed by Democrats in the state, as well as by the Republican secretary of state and attorney general.
“I want to make on the record that we’ll be going against the advice of our legal counsel by voting in the affirmative,” the Georgia election board’s chair, John Fervier, said before the motion passed. Fervier, who was appointed by Georgia GOP Gov. Brian Kemp, and Sara Tindall Ghazal, the lone Democratic appointee on the panel, voted against the new rules.
Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger had previously warned the new rule could cause “chaos.”
“We consider these major changes to the election process,” Raffensperger told NBC News on Thursday. “I guess we have several concerns. Number one is the actual counting of the number of ballots that you have at the precinct. That’s going to take time. Everything that we’ve done for the last six years has to speed up the process to give the voters the results quicker, and all of a sudden now they’re adding an element that it’s actually going to take longer.”
In a statement after Friday’s vote, Raffensperger said, “Attorney General Chris Carr has stated that these rules would not withstand a legal challenge, and I have worked every day to strengthen Georgia’s election law to ensure our elections remain safe, secure, and free.”
Sounds to me like the left is just mad that Georgia threw a wrench in their plans…
