A very simple ballot counting rule was affirmed by the Georgia election board on Friday in a 3-2 vote.
The “hand count” ballot rule (183-1:12) is very basic and simple. Essentially it says all the paper ballots must be hand counted and matched to the number of people recorded electronically to the vote. Example, if 1,000 votes are electronically counted, there should be 1,000 physical ballots to match. This is not complicated and will not take much time.
The ballots are not being checked for voting accuracy, or vote recording/candidate specifics. Only the number of ballots, the number of physical ballots, that should match the number of recorded voters. Easy peasy, very simple. Not complex.
However, despite the simplicity of the new rule, the DNC and left-wing activists are furious about the simple process. “This is nothing more than an 11th-hour effort by Donald Trump and his ‘pit bulls’ to slow down the counting of ballots so they can attack and undermine any result they don’t like,” Jamie Harrison, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, said on Friday afternoon.

What Georgia election rule 183-1-12 does through the hand count is stop the issue of scanning a ballot more than once to count a single ballot (or batch of ballots) as multiple votes of the batch. One ballot, one vote, one voter, match the counts and easy peasy.
If you count 100 one-dollar bills, you should have $100. However, if you count 100 one-dollar bills and your sales report shows $500 sold there’s a problem. Ballots are the same.
Seeing the leftists go bananas over this single and simple rule enforcement, makes me wonder how much the Clyburn team need to scan batches of ballots multiple times. If they lose Pennsylvania (Philly and Pittsburgh) as a fraud vector for success, Georgia becomes much more important. Clyburn has spent a lot of time and resource energy in Georgia. Suspicious Cat remains, well, increasingly suspicious.
