Georgia Election Board Implements Stricter Vote Counting Rules

New regulations aim to reconcile ballot counts with voter numbers, sparking debate over potential delays in certification.

The Georgia State Election Board approved new rules requiring the number of ballots to match the number of voters.
The decision followed intense debate and passed by a narrow 3-2 vote.
Opponents argue the changes could delay election certification and undermine voter confidence.
Proponents claim the rules enhance accuracy and prevent discrepancies in vote counts.
Critics, including Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, warn the rules may create unnecessary chaos.
