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.
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.
Roberys was on the Bush legal team for Bush vs. Gore and refused answer questions about the ruling during his confirmation hearings. In fact, three of the justices on the Supreme Court are Bush Vs Gore alumni, all for the Bush leagl team.
I would expect that is the point. Delay the result, then complain about the result taking forever and use that line of „reasoning“ to let the state government send electors.
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.
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.
