Hand counting votes, is how is done in most countries in the world and the results come in the same night. This shouldn't be controversial, it's a hedge against posible hacks
Allies of former President Donald Trump who control the Georgia State Election Board approved a controversial new rule today requiring counties to hand-count the number of ballots cast at polling places on Election Day, giving them only 6 weeks notice to prepare, despite bipartisan objections and the fact that they could have decided this years in advance to give election officials time to prepare. So why did they make these changes so last minute? Is to create more election day chaos as Kamala Harris is currently expected to win the election? 🇺🇸

They could have made this decision anytime they met over the last few years, thats why it’s controversial.
