Georgia's Republican-controlled state election board may vote on Friday to require a labor-intensive hand count of potentially millions of ballots in November's election, a move voting rights advocates say could cause delays,

The Georgia State Election Board is set to vote on a controversial measure Friday that would require local precincts to conduct hand counts.

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

The office of Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr sent a letter to the members of Georgia’s State Election Board Friday morning telling them some of the planned rule changes to election policies ahead of the presidential race may violate state law.
