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 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 blue counties won’t be allowed to finish. The election commission will suddenly say, “Oops, deadline has passed, we’re certifying with just the counties that finished their recounts.”
Georgia Secretary of State Ben Raffensperger is concerned about delays and lack of security. Currently, the count audit that compares numbers of electronic tallies with paper slips is done in secure locations with a panel of auditors and party representatives. He’s concerned that decentralizing this reduces security and increases opportunity for fraud.
Heard a very good interview with him on NPR last Tuesday. I’d recommend giving it a listen. He’s still the same man of integrity we heard in the Trump tapes he released to the public.
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.
