Georgia Supreme Court Rejects Trump-Aligned Effort To Require Poll Workers To Hand Count Ballots In November.

[0311]

The Georgia state election board’s controversial mandate requiring poll workers to hand-count the number of ballots cast will not take effect for the 2024 election.

The Georgia Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected a bid by the Republican Party to reinstate the hand-count mandate and another new rule after a lower-court judge halted the rules last week.

The court’s unanimous decision prevents, for the foreseeable future, what election workers and state officials had warned would be a chaotic procedure that could lead to errors, fraud and protracted delays. The hand-count rule would have required poll workers across Georgia, starting as soon as election night, to perform a manual count of the number of ballots cast.

this may spend relatively benign, but in an election with multiple offices, candidates, constitutional amendments and tax measures, counted by a crew that has been on site since 5 am ...................

From personal experience, it is one heffuva long day.

GA is probably the weakest of the swing states on ballot security.

A hand count is a common-sense step to validate the tabulator totals. It does not mean the ballots have to actually be counted by hand- there are machines not much larger than a desktop printer whose only function is to count the paper.

You can count the number of ballots quickly with these machines, and compare the totals to the tabulator totals. A mismatch will alert you to a potential error made during the tabulation process, a match gives you confidence that the ballots were properly tabulated.

No, they stood for the rights of voters, which of course you would never understand.

Validating that the correct number of ballots is tabulated is protecting the rights of the voters dummy.

No, it was rat fucking the election. Poll Workers jobs are hard enough as is without having hours to tabulate by hand. Georgia had recount after recount after recount in 2020 and Diaper Don still lost. ReNaziKlans wanted to slow the process. There was no ballot harvesting or ballot fraud in Georgia. Get over it.

i work a precinct for elections. it is a long day.

if all of the massive recounts and audits of 2020 did not convince these rubes i'm sure that abusing the poll commissioners is no way to get a more accurate count than that.

The longest night I worked Election Day 2008. Started at 5:30AM, got home 10:00 PM. There still people in line we closed at 8:00 PM and they had to vote. I was definitely dragging ass when I got home. My wife made me hot roast beef sandwich, a cold Sierra Nevada and I was in bed. I woke up the next day at 11:00 AM.

16.5 hours was the worse you ever had at work, I worked those kinds of day routinely for years, 6 to 10 days at a time and then a couple of days off and right back at it. You're a prime example of the pussyfication of American men.

BTW they only would be counting ballots, not the individual votes.

There were other measures that went along with this that were also disallowed. It is clear that Democrats want no part of securing elections…none.

The other six rules that will remain stricken for the Nov. 5 election would have:

• Required local officials to conduct a "reasonable inquiry" before certifying results;
• Given county officials access to election-related documents;
• Required absentee ballot deliverers to provide a photo ID and signature at delivery;
• Mandated video recording of authorized drop boxes after polls close;
• Expanded designated poll-watching areas; and
• Add requirements for the county board of registrars in reporting absentee ballot information.

The fact you take this as a matter of pride and brag about it shows how brainwashed you are

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Required local officials to conduct a "reasonable inquiry" before certifying results;

What is a "reasonable inquiry" and who gets to decide if it is reasonable or not?

So if they removed that one line item, it should have been passed?

I would need to know more details about each, but none should kick in a month before an election or even 3 months before one.

Why not if they secure elections, which they clearly do? They implemented COVID voting rules fairly quickly for the 2020 election.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Why not if they secure elections, which they clearly do?

Then why did they wait till the very last minute to try and implement them? If they are so important why wait till right before the election when those running the elections do not have the time and money to implement them and when questions about them cannot be answered.

You still have not told us what a "reasonable inquiry" is

 

[ThisIsMe]

No, they stood for the rights of voters, which of course you would never understand.

How would this infringe on voters rights? A hand count would ensure the ballot count matches the machine count.

That would help ENSURE accuracy.

Implementing these things has nothing to do with money and many require little to no time to implement.

As far as a “reasonable inquiry”, that is no different than “reasonable doubt” which is a well established tenant of our legal system. Yes, it may require adjudication as people’s definitions often vary, but how else would you propose an inquiry be made?

Georgia is a case study in what happens when religion controls the GOP. A "Georgia Republican" voter is an IQ<5 moron who is told what to think in church by a Jew Fraud of a Christian "preacher." Almost all of the elected "Republicans" in GA are Jew Frauds of "Christians" who support Dominion Machines, and never lose elections if Dominion counts the votes. All were for Biden and the Steal, and all are uber uber Zionist Fascists.
