The key battleground state of Georgia’s election board voted Friday to force ballots to be hand-counted three times before a result is declared.
As one of multiple motions on changing how elections are run, less than 50 days out from the November 5 election, the new rule was passed 3-2 by the conservative-leaning panel.
The changes come after Donald Trump heavily criticized the way the state handled the 2020 election results, repeatedly and falsely claiming he won the state.
President Joe Biden narrowly won in Georgia, with 49.5 percent of the vote against Trump’s 49.2 percent.
…
Critics have claimed the board, which has swung more to the right, is trying to rewrite the rules to favor former president and Republican candidate Donald Trump.
In a letter Thursday, the office of Georgia’s Attorney General issued a warning that the board was pushing rules that “very likely exceed the board’s statutory authority”, while voting rights groups had also raised concerns.

I love that they are already claiming fraud before the election has even started. Ummm, yeah, it’s you that are committing the fraud.
So far all election fraud cases that have been found came from the Republican side
Say it along with me now:
Every accusation is a confession
i would like to take a moment to consider that republicans are currently doing shit, and then projecting that shit onto democrats, as we all know.
I would like to remind everyone that this is even nested, republicans are projecting their own projections onto the democrat party, and accusing them of doing the same thing that they’re literally doing.
the republican party is fucking over.
This better get swatted down by the GA supreme court
The fucking maggots are trying to completely invalidate an entire states votes by not being ready by certification
Is this an admission of defeat by the red team? Aren’t they effectively saying that they don’t want their state’s results to be certified, and throw away their electoral votes because the blue team might win?
Or is it deeper, resulting in the more-populated blue team areas to not make certification, and therefore the state goes red?
They only need to throw one or two counties - Fulton or Dekalb - into chaos, and they’ve got the groundwork laid. After 2020, the legislature voted themselves the power to take over county boards of elections and immediately started investigations to show that Fulton’s board were incompetent. The state board now lets and random county official contest certification, more or less guaranteeing chaos and calls for the legislature to take over. Throw out Fulton County, and Georgia goes back to solid red.
They’re angling for Congress to install Trump if no one reaches 270. The fallback method of selecting a president when there’s no clear winner is a House vote where each state gets 1 vote, so since there are more red states than blue states that’s effectively a sure-thing win for Republicans rather than leaving it to chance with the voters. Even if they’re 75% sure Trump wins Georgia, 100% is still better.
That sounds kinda plausible.
Counting in regional areas will be concluded before counting in city polling places.
Anything. Everything. The more dysfunctional they can force ethe system to be, the more opportunities they have to claim ita fraudulent and throw out the undesirable results.

Yes, they’re effectively saying that they don’t want their state’s results to be counted. No, it’s not an admission of defeat. Instead, it’s manufacturing justification for another coup.
I think their primary goal now is to throw the election to the house. This is part of that plan.
They think they can’t win the electoral college even with their structural advantages?
Yup. They’ve been a minority party for a long time and their staunchest supporters are more dying of old age and preventable disease.
Bush Gore 2.0
Back when Florida threw out all those votes because Black people didn’t trust the system down there so they ticked, and wrote in “Al Gore”… Officials called this “over voting” even though the same candidate was ticked and written, they threw those votes in the garbage and Bush won.
So they filled the box for Gore, and then wrote his name down, and those got disqualified?
I didn’t follow this closely at the time (not American) but little tidbits like this pop up over the years and it’s fucking crazy.
Isn’t this the actual method of counting they used to fuck the recount in Florida in 2000?
Hope these fuckers enjoy losing three times instead of once.
