The Georgia State Election Board is facing lawsuits from Democrats and liberal groups over new rules requiring hand counting of ballots at the precinct level each day to ensure the vote totals match the number of voters. The rules, which aim to verify that election results are 'true and accurate,' have sparked significant controversy. The Republican National Committee and Georgia GOP have moved to intervene in defense of the State Election Board. Critics argue that these measures are necessary for transparency and accountability in Georgia elections, making Georgia a Ground Zero for election integrity debates.
