Georgia Election Board rules ballots must be hand counted
The Georgia Election Board ruled Friday that ballots must be hand-counted by local precincts despite concerns from election officials and opposition from some state officials.
The Georgia Election Board ruled 3-2 to require ballots to be hand counted — an added layer to the machine count that already takes place. The rule change comes less than 50 days before a critical presidential election in a key swing state.
