    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?

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

          Okay, you and the Georgia board of elections disagree about the 2020 result.

          What is the right way to go about building trust in the election process in that circumstance?

          Is it to just tell the people who think there was manipulation to sit down and shut up or is it to go ahead and prepare for the inevitable accusations of manipulation?

          What im trying to make clear here is that I think that the board of elections is making the right call, even if they don’t think hand counts are inherently better like I do, and even if they’re nefariouslly planning to drum up unfounded accusations of manipulation, because they’re making the call that has the most opportunity to build trust in the election process back up.

          How should it be?
