This is a two part post. The first part is what they intended to do, the second is them doing it. The intent is well expressed in the comments. The goal is to have the red rural parts of the state that vote republican to be in and recorded with the urban blue lagging way behind so the cultist can claim tRump won and the Democrats cheated at the last minutes. Then if time runs out for the count to be done the state will only certify the tRump voting areas leaving the cities out of the count, throwing the state to tRump even if Kamala Harris wins. Again republicans know that their plans are unpopular and they don’t care. They don’t want to represent people, they want to rule over the people. Hugs. Scottie
The Washington Post reports:
The Georgia State Election Board is expected to vote on a measure to force counties to hand-count all ballots this year, a requirement that could delay reporting of results by weeks if not months and that critics say is designed to inject chaos and uncertainty into the presidential contest in a vitally important swing state. The board will take up the proposal, which would require the hand count in addition to the customary machine count, Friday morning at the state Capitol in Atlanta.
The flurry of rulemaking is the work of a new right-wing majority that took control of the board in May with an avowed mission of preventing fraud and other irregularities from tainting the presidential result this year. All three are supporters of former president Donald Trump, and the rules they are pushing have been promoted by the state’s leading proponents of the false claim that President Joe Biden stole the Georgia election in 2020.

The Washington Post reports:
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 reporting of results by weeks if not months.
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.

It’s been tried and it has failed. They are aware, count on it. They may not grasp the enormity of the problem, though.
The example that I kinda remembered:
“Esmeralda County, the least populous county in Nevada, provided another telling real-world example of the laborious effort it takes to hand count. A few election workers and two county commissioners needed more than seven hours to hand count just 317 ballots. “
They had to give it up, and they aren’t the only ones to have tried and failed.

Hi MDavis. Yes as you say they are counting on it. As the articles I posted point out, the point is to give the smaller counties the chance to record their hand counted ballots for tRump while letting the clock run out for the larger urban areas that have far more people and tend to vote for Democrats miss the deadline for getting their votes recorded in time. So not only will Harris lose the votes, but also the down ballot democrats lose out also. I listened to a podcast this morning that detailed how republicans have been using these schemes all over the country to rig the voting. Removing possible democrats from voting rolls, gerrymandering, now election board rules, It is scary how they don’t want people voting. They know their ideas are unpopular and they don’t care. They do not want to represent the people, they demand to rule them. Hugs. Scottie
