Georgia judge stops the enforcement of the rule mandating counties to manually count Election Day ballots


A Georgia judge blocked a new rule from the state’s election board that would have required counties to count ballots by hand on Election Day, citing concerns about delays and disruptions. The rule was passed by a 3-2 vote, with supporters praised by former President Donald Trump. Democrats filed a lawsuit to stop the rule from taking effect, arguing that it would sow uncertainty in a key state in the presidential election. The judge granted a temporary injunction, stating that the rule would add uncertainty and disorder to the electoral process. This decision is seen as a win for Democrats and a setback for Trump allies who have pushed for hand-counting of ballots. The ruling comes amid baseless claims of election fraud and concerns about election integrity in Georgia. The judge also ruled against county election boards refusing to certify results, in another defeat for Trump allies. The decision to block the hand-counting rule is likely to be appealed, highlighting the ongoing legal battles over election rules and procedures in the state.
