Georgia’s Republican-controlled state election board voted on Friday to require a labor-intensive hand count of potentially millions of ballots in November’s election, a move voting rights advocates say could cause delays, introduce errors and lay the groundwork for spurious election challenges.

The hand count rule, passed in a 3-2 vote, will make Georgia the only state in the U.S. to implement such a requirement as part of the normal process of tabulating results, according to Gowri Ramachandran, the director of elections and security at New York University’s Brennan Center for Justice, a left-leaning public policy institute.

    Roberys was on the Bush legal team for Bush vs. Gore and refused answer questions about the ruling during his confirmation hearings. In fact, three of the justices on the Supreme Court are Bush Vs Gore alumni, all for the Bush leagl team.

        I wasn’t as clear as i wanted to be. Roberts refused to answer questions on the ruling because he believed a similar ruling would occur soon. He was put on the Supreme Court for this exact reason.
