Georgia's Republican-controlled state election board may vote on Friday to require a labor-intensive hand count of potentially millions of ballots in November's election, a move voting rights advocates say could cause delays,

One measure, to be voted on Friday, would require hand counting of ballots. Critics say that it would create widespread confusion in a state pivotal to the presidential race.

The Georgia Supreme Court sent a dire warning Tuesday to any 2024 election challengers who seek to contest rules or results, saying plaintiffs “must clear significant hurdles” and would be better off resolving lawsuits before voters head to the polls.

Any rules adopted by the Georgia's controversial State Election Board on Friday will go into effect after overseas and military ballots have started to go out and just as early voting is about to begin.

The office of Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr sent a letter to the members of Georgia’s State Election Board Friday morning telling them some of the planned rule changes to election policies ahead of the presidential race may violate state law.
