Democrats and Harris Campaign Sue to Block Georgia's New Hand-Count Ballot Rule Before November 5 Election
Sep 30, 2024, 06:04 PM
On Monday, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Georgia Democrats, with support from the Harris campaign, filed a lawsuit against the Georgia State Election Board to block a new rule requiring hand-counting of ballots in the upcoming November 5 election. The plaintiffs argue that the last-minute move exceeds the board's authority and could lead to election night chaos by delaying the reporting of results. The rule, adopted just 10 days ago after approval by three of the board's MAGA members, stipulates that poll workers must hand-count all ballots, even after they have been tabulated by machines. The lawsuit is part of a wave of election-related legal actions filed by both Democrats and Republicans ahead of the November election and seeks to prevent the implementation of the rule due to concerns over potential disruptions in the battleground state.
