Distrust and chaos': Georgia Dems, GOP battle over new ballot rule as early voting kicks off Tuesday

This article centers on a debate about Georgia’s new election rule requiring hand-counting of ballots to verify machine-tabulated totals. Both sides employ speculative reasoning. Democrats argue that the rule is designed to create chaos, appealing to fear and distrust without direct evidence, while Republicans suggest that opposing the rule undermines voter confidence. Both viewpoints avoid addressing the practical implications of the rule change, creating ambiguity about its real effect. Additionally, the argument about 2020 election outcomes serves as a red herring, diverting focus from the current discussion.
