BREAKING: Georgia judge blocks rule requiring counties to hand-count Election Day ballots
A Georgia judge blocked a new rule from the state's election board that would require counties to count ballots cast on Election Day by hand, a provision critics had said would cause delays in reporting results in the battleground state.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney wrote in his decision that the rule — passed by allies of former President Donald Trump — was implemented too close to Election Day and would cause "administrative chaos." The temporary injunction is likely to be appealed.
