Less than two months before the election, the Trump-aligned majority on the Georgia State Election Board passed a new set of eleventh-hour rule changes on Friday that could plunge the vote counting process into chaos and give Republicans yet another pretext not to certify the results if Kamala Harris wins the state.

The board, with a new right-wing majority, is set to consider new election rules just 45 days before the election.

The Georgia State Election Board passed a controversial measure Friday that would require local precincts to conduct hand counts.

The Georgia State Election Board will require hand counts of all votes in the November election and confirm the figures match machine counts. Paper ballots are now required to be counted at each polling place by three separate poll workers.

The Georgia State Election Board is set to vote Friday on several election rules that have raised red flags among voting rights organizations, Democrats and county election officials in advance of the November general election.
