Three Donald Trump loyalist Georgia State Election Board members adopted a contentious rule Friday requiring the hand counting of paper ballots cast during the upcoming Nov. 5 Election Day despite warnings from county election directors that it could lead to more delays with reporting results this fall.

Critics plan to sue, saying the new requirement would almost certainly lead to errors and could disrupt the process of certifying the vote in a crucial battleground state.

The Georgia State Election Board will require hand counts of all votes in the November election and confirm the figures match machine counts. Paper ballots are now required to be counted at each polling place by three separate poll workers.

The Georgia State Election Board is set to vote Friday on several election rules that have raised red flags among voting rights organizations, Democrats and county election officials in advance of the November general election.
