Arrr, matey! A wise judge o' Georgia be sayin' that countin' ballots by hand on election night be a scallywag's folly—"too much, too late!" Aye, just weeks till the big showdown, and they be thinkin' to hoist sails? Talk about a ship lost at sea, arrr!
Arrr! Gather 'round, me hearties, for I bring ye news from the land o’ Georgia! A wise judge, Robert McBurney be his name, has thwarted a plan to count ballots by hand come election night. He declared it would lead to “administrative chaos,” as the poor poll workers be untrained in the fine art of hand-countin' millions o' ballots! Aye, it be a recipe for disaster, or worse, a mutiny among the crews!With the dreaded specter of Jan. 6 lingerin’ in the air like a foul sea breeze, Judge McBurney deemed this hasty rule to be “too much, too late,” settin' sail just weeks before the ballots be cast. He called for a pause, sayin’ that any added disorder would do the public a disservice. 'Tis a wise captain who knows when to batten down the hatches!
This new rule, passed by the Republican crew by a slim 3-2 vote, was set to launch on Oct. 22, just as the early voting winds were fillin' the sails. But worry not, the judge be sayin’ he’ll deliver more words on this matter after the storm of election day has passed. So, hoist the flags and prepare for a wild election voyage, me mateys!
