    They’re pretty explicit about the plan here: chaos, providing an excuse to ignore actual votes

        The election board has a majority who deny the 2020 results. What exactly do you think they’re planning to do?

          I don’t know what people think or plan.

          I’m interested to see if people have been discussing how to use the election process to disrupt the election itself though.

          I also don’t think it’s a big deal if a hand count takes longer. Like I said before, provisional ballots aren’t finalized for weeks after the election so what’s the big deal?

              It also provides a level of transparency to refute those claims if there is no fraud.

              In the future there will be more contested elections. If you want to stop hearing people claim voter fraud then we need to start practicing clear and open processes now instead of pushing those people to the sideline.

              Most elected officials don’t take office until January. The window between the election and Those people being seated is two months and some weeks no matter what. If the count is done in two hours, two days or two weeks, there’s still two months and some weeks to drum up a fraud case.

                It doesn’t if the people doing the counting are interested in creating bogus claims of fraud.

                  Again, I don’t see anyone saying that they’re planning to lie in order to claim fraud.

                  I’m also not entirely convinced that a hand count can be manipulated as easily as you’re suggesting based on the election work I’ve been involved in.

                  This honestly seems like one of those times that a stopped clock is right, a person truly believes there is gonna be fraud or recognizes that there are gonna be claims of it and pushes to prepare for the worst.

                  Let me flip the script on you:

                  Georgia was the focus of a lot of claims of election fraud last time around. If your goal was to build trust in the election process there, wouldn’t you want to go ahead and be prepared for the worst, a hand count?

                    “Again, I don’t see anyone saying that they’re planning to lie in order to claim fraud.”

                    Everyone here has taken a lot of time to explain this to you. Here is an article that explains what is really going on.

                    This is the opposite of building trust.

                    It is just “hand counting good” with you and frankly it makes you look stupid because you are willfully missing the point.

                    They’re already lying about past events which makes it clear that they’re going to keep on lying.
