#law #VoteBlue
Critics included #democracy advocates who accused the board of intentionally injecting #chaos & uncertainty into the presidential contest as well as #election supervisors & poll workers who said hand counts would take too long, cost money & almost certainly produce counting errors.
The board voted 3-2 to approve the measure, which would require the #HandCount in addition to the customary machine count in each precinct.
The rule requires the #HandCount to take place the night of the November #election or the next day. But dozens of election officials said that would be physically impossible in all but the smallest counties. Many also said in public comments Friday that it is far too late in the year to adopt new procedures for which their staffs have not been trained & for which they have no funds.
