Judge Blocks Hand-Counting of Election Ballots in Georgia
Briefly

Judge Robert C.I. McBurney expressed concern over the implementation timing of a new hand counting rule for election ballots, deeming it 'too much, too late' for the upcoming November election.
While acknowledging the potential benefits of the hand count rule for election integrity, Judge McBurney stated that its late passage creates challenges for proper execution before the election.
The judge recognized that the new rule, part of a broader set of election changes endorsed by the State Election Board, aligns with the objectives of right-wing election activists.
Ultimately, Judge McBurney has opted to halt the rule's enforcement for the current election, indicating that extensive examination of its merits is still necessary.
