HUGE! Georgia State Election Board Passes Rule Requiring Hand-Count of Ballots at Precinct Level
In a big win today, the Georgia State Election Board passed Resolution 181-1-12-.12 by a 3-2 count. The resolution simply requires the hand counting of physical paper ballots at the precinct level to ensure it matches the total reported by the tabulators. This does not involve a hand-count tabulation of the vote totals but rather simply the total number of physical ballots cast at that particular precinct.
This is a welcome rule in Georgia after several issues arose during a municipal election in Tennessee in 2021. There is ample evidence that the same issues discovered in Tennessee may have plagued the Georgia 2020 General Election.
Following the 2020 General Election, Williamson County, TN reported an anomaly in their vote tabulation to EAC via the Tennessee Secretary of State’s Office. The anomaly was discovered when an election worker counted the physical paper ballots from their October 2021 municipal election and realized that the number of ballots hand-counted did not match the number of ballots scanned on 7 out of 18 tabulators.
This led to an investigation by the U.S. Elections Assistance Commission (EAC) that could not conclusively pinpoint the direct cause of the anomaly. The EAC, in conjunction with Dominion Voting, investigated and, in February 2022, Dominion submitted a “Root Cause Analaysis” to the EAC.
