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.

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?
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.
Yeah at this point they literally cannot win a fair national election. They have to put their thumb on the scale to even have a chance at winning. Every cycle that becomes harder and harder to pull off. The only longterm survival plan the GOP has is “authoritarian state”.
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.
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
Which means Republicans eat pets.
Or straps them to the roof of the family car when going on vacation.

Or at least a suggestion.
Do you know who is responsible for all this fraud that you allege?
GOP on November 6th: Why is the count taking so long!? There must be fraud.
Since the small counties are easier to count, they will be done first and when the “dump” from the cities come in, it’s fraud!
(Or if they find the fraudulent ballots that these GOP operatives slip in)
I’m pretty sure you’re right and this is exactly the intention
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.
It was about Hanging Chads. Basically it was vote by hole punch and sometimes the paper wasn’t punched all the way (Hanging Chad) so the vote wasn’t counted correctly by machines.
These can be counted by manual recounts which clearly show the intent.
Supreme Court decided not to count fully perforated punch holes which gave the election to Bush.

Ah I knew that one, the above sounded like something else.
Hope these fuckers enjoy losing three times instead of once.
I’ve lived for over 20 years in Mexico, I’ve seen things, but I’ve never seen corruption at the level that is happening in the US
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.
Isn’t this the actual method of counting they used to fuck the recount in Florida in 2000?
It’s not the method if counting that’s bad - it’s the mandatory counting for all votes. It’s going to take weeks to process.
Which is the point. It takes too long and they get SCOTUS to gift them a presidency. Again.
