The pro-Trump majority on the battleground state's election board approved the move, which critics from both parties warn could lead to delays in reporting results.

The Georgia state election board on Friday voted 3-2 to require counties to hand-count ballots in this November's election, a move that could drastically lengthen the amount of time to tally election results in a critical battleground state.
The move was approved by three board members who've been praised by former President Donald Trump, and was opposed by Democrats in the state, as well as by the Republican secretary of state and attorney general.
