Republican majority eager for hand-counts of voting tallies, which experts say are time-consuming and unreliable
The Georgia state election board is set to meet on Friday and consider another round of last-minute election changes that could cause delays and confusion after election day in a critical battleground state.
The Republican majority on the board is expected to approve a rule that would require three people in every precinct to check machine-vote tallies by hand-counting the election results. Voting experts have long warned that hand-counts are time consuming, costly, and less reliable than machines. It’s a process that nonetheless has been favored by conservative activists who doubt the results of the 2020 election.
The board will also consider proposed rules that would mandate daily hand-counts of early votes, require public reports of voters who have cast a ballot during early voting, allow for greater poll-watcher access during tabulation, distinguish emergency and mail-in ballots, and require that ballots be tracked through the mail.
