Causing delays. It will be quick to count the ballots in rural, likely repubs, areas. It will take much longer in urban areas that are likely voting democratic. Eventually they will get a judge to rule that counting has to stop and that the current count will stand, too bad they only counted the rural areas completely.
Yeah that’s pretty much the plan, I think. But also, remember the MAGA dipshits have gotten a hold of a ton of election-related positions in GA, and I’m sure they’ll be fucking with the ballots in other ways too.
Trying to increase the chance of confusion and questioning of election accuracy by introducing a process that has a high likelihood of being slightly off in a way that doesn’t impact the results, but does give ammunition to people that claim the election results aren’t reliable.
If a machine count is perfect, the human count is off by a few votes, and the candidates are tens of thousands of votes apart the vote count was fair and reliable. Republicans want to paint this as the opposite, by focusing on 100% perfection in the largest totals.
Changing this at the last minute also increases the chances of mistakes, because there isn’t enough time for training the thousands needed to do all the hand counts within the reqhired time frames.
These idiots…
The ballots in 2020 WERE HAND COUNTED THREE TIMES.
No major deviations or fraud were found. What in the heck are these fuckers up to here…

And when anyone (correctly this time) calls out election fraud, they’re going to act like they were vindicated for their 2020 lies.
They will claim voter fraud, even though there is next to none. They will be perpetrating electoral fraud (as they did in 16 and 20).
Edit: 2000 too, as was mentioned
And 2000

And then they’ll say “Oh well, guess we’ll just have to have our state legislature decide who won.”
