Challenges of Election Process Changes in Georgia
Last-minute changes to election rules in Georgia may introduce significant delays in the vote counting process. Procedures that involve opening ballot boxes and handling ballots outside of secure warehouses compromise the chain of custody and could potentially extend the time needed to produce election results. This lack of adherence to established protocols could shift the timeline from a typical closure around 9:30 PM to as late as 2 or 3 AM, creating uncertainty and chaos. Such inconsistencies in the election process raise concerns about the overall readiness of the state to conduct a smooth and efficient election.
