    These idiots…

    The ballots in 2020 WERE HAND COUNTED THREE TIMES.

    No major deviations or fraud were found. What in the heck are these fuckers up to here…

      Causing delays. It will be quick to count the ballots in rural, likely repubs, areas. It will take much longer in urban areas that are likely voting democratic. Eventually they will get a judge to rule that counting has to stop and that the current count will stand, too bad they only counted the rural areas completely.

        Yeah that’s pretty much the plan, I think. But also, remember the MAGA dipshits have gotten a hold of a ton of election-related positions in GA, and I’m sure they’ll be fucking with the ballots in other ways too.

      Trying to increase the chance of confusion and questioning of election accuracy by introducing a process that has a high likelihood of being slightly off in a way that doesn’t impact the results, but does give ammunition to people that claim the election results aren’t reliable.

      If a machine count is perfect, the human count is off by a few votes, and the candidates are tens of thousands of votes apart the vote count was fair and reliable. Republicans want to paint this as the opposite, by focusing on 100% perfection in the largest totals.

      Changing this at the last minute also increases the chances of mistakes, because there isn’t enough time for training the thousands needed to do all the hand counts within the reqhired time frames.

        give ammunition to people that claim the election results aren’t reliable.

        And then they’ll say “Oh well, guess we’ll just have to have our state legislature decide who won.”
