Original Note:
The new rule does NOT require officials to hand count ballots to determine who won the election. Votes will still be counted by a machine. The rule requires officials to count the *total number of ballots cast* and compare that to how many ballots the machine scanned. https://www.usnews.com/news/us/articles/2024-09-20/georgia-state-election-board-approves-rule-requiring-hand-count-of-ballots
