* Georgia Will Require Hand-Counting of Ballots – Critics say the move could significantly delay the reporting of results and inject chaos into the post-election.
* Critics argue that requiring hand counting, in addition to a machine count, could introduce errors and confusion into the process and potentially disrupt the custody of ballots. To start hand-counting on election night, poll workers would likely have to break open the seals on boxes of completed ballots, possibly exposing the ballots to fraud or loss. In previous elections, ballots remain sealed and stored securely unless a recount was ordered. Poll workers will be required to count the total number of ballots cast, not which candidate received more votes.
