FACT CHECK: MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow Melts Down Over New Georgia Election Rule – Has NO CLUE What the Rule Actually Does
On Friday, the Georgia State Election Board passed rule 181-1-12-.12 by a 3-2 vote, as reported yesterday by The Gateway Pundit. The rule would require precincts to hand-count their physical paper ballots and reconcile them with the number of voters recorded on the electronic poll pads in that particular precinct.
In the 2020 General Election in Georgia, there were several counties that were off by hundreds, and in some instances thousands of votes that were discovered during the hand recount on November 16th. Until that handcount, more than 6,000 voters did not have their vote counted because of some ‘unknown’ error.
The new rule passed by the State Election Board would drastically reduce the possibility of such an error occurring by requiring the precinct to ensure they have the same number of ballots as people who voted in that precinct.
