Georgia Democrats and the Harris campaign are celebrating after a state judge temporarily blocked a measure that would require the hand-counting of ballots after they’re cast.
Vice President Kamala Harris‘ campaign is celebrating after a Georgia judge temporarily blocked a rule that would have forced election officials to hand count ballots after they have been machine-tabulated.
„From the beginning, this rule was an effort to delay election results to sow doubt in the outcome, and our democracy is stronger thanks to this decision to block it“, a joint statement to several media outlets read.
„We will continue fighting to ensure that voters can cast their ballot knowing it will count.“
The brief comments were released by Georgia Democratic Party Chair Rep. Nikema Williams, D-Ga., DNC acting Co-Executive Director Monica Guardiola, and Harris-Walz Deputy Campaign Manager Quentin Fulks.
The joint statement lauding the ruling is a reflection of how lockstep state and national Democrats have been in opposing the new measure.
