A judge in Georgia has paused a new rule from the Georgia State Election Board that would have required officials to hand-count the number of ballots cast at each polling place.
“No training has been administered (let alone developed), no protocols for handling write-in ballots … have been issued, and no allowances have been made in any county’s election budget for additional personnel and other expenses required to implement the Hand Count Rule,” Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney wrote...

Changing election rules with 3 weeks to go. Whatever could go wrong?

Problematic areas in Georgia.
Same “judge” that just ruled that elections had to be certified regardless of fraud.
I believe the legislature mandates machine counts in GA. What are they going to do, override the legislature and only do a hand count? Are they gonna do a hand count and machine count?
Besides, they only wanted to hand count ballots cast on election day, most of the voters will vote early. I’m trying to see the point if they’re only going to hand count a minority of the votes.
The point about local officials not having the budget to hire extra staff to do a hand count is valid also. But I’m sure the sisters in Fulton County will be glad to volunteer: “That be 10 fo Harris, one fo Trump, 10 mo for Harris, zero fo Trump”
They have to be trained to count?
I believe it, but that’s sad.
“No training has been administered (let alone developed), no protocols for handling write-in ballots...”
Not great when a judge cannot make his points in logical order. He should have written the training has not been been developed let alone administered.
Proper ruling.
The Executive Order of the GA board was an unfunded mandate.
No protocols + no training + no staffing + no funding = no dice.
Now the courts are in on the stealing of the elections before the voting even starts. Someone in authority needs to declare that the courts have no standing.
Yeah.
It looks like Rat Operative McBurney just tore down 3 1/2 years of painstaking work in GA to prevent the same BS that they got away with in 2020.
Breathtaking. He basically controls Georgia now, the Governor and the Legislature are just spectators.
What they are attempting to do is lock down a number of ballots (not votes) that should be coming from each precinct. You establish an upper limit of the maximum number of possible votes at the point where the ballots come into the tabulation process. Which is a very efficient way of curtailing the 3 am ballot drops and the sudden discovery of uncounted ballots here and there in the wee hours. It really should not take too long; all they are doing is counting sheets of paper. This ruling is “home cooking” for the Fulton County market and should be ripe for overturning later this week.
How much formal training is required to do hand counts of voter ballots?
I mean the entire coutry did this for a very long time well before.
Its not like getting a man to the moon.
Although we can’t do that anymore either...
I mean, the entire country did this for a very long time well before.
I work for my local election board at election time. The decision is sound: Yes, if you make a change to all-hand-count, you need training in the new process--so that every step in the process is performed with a signature from a Democrat and a Republican. It's to prevent any temptation to sloppiness or cheating.
Any new set of vote-handling procedures needs to be thought through, and NOT changed on a dime. The devil is lurking in the details, and needs to be out-smarted by the best procedure, with safeguards built in, so every move is transparent and proper.
If this attitude toward each procedure is faithfully followed, it's like magic: Everyone is calm, everyone gets along, and the Republic is protected until the next election. They need to add an extra half-day each for 1) planning and 2) training, and get on with it. It will cost some money--an extra 1/20th of personnel time. And it's necessary.

With judges like that who needs broken water mains?
Thats not the question I asked. Answer the actual question I posed, if you’re going to answer.
