Georgia House Weighs Election Bill Requiring Hand Recounts in Top Races 

#wqeb973newz | Atlanta,GA-🗳️ Georgia lawmakers are debating a major change to how elections are verified across the state.

A Senate-approved bill being considered by the Georgia House would delay a deadline to replace QR code ballot tabulation systems and require hand recounts of the top two races in every election. Supporters say manual counts can help confirm election results, while critics question whether counties have the staffing and resources needed to carry out mandatory recounts statewide.

The proposal comes as lawmakers work to address an upcoming July 1 deadline tied to Georgia’s voting system. The measure must still pass both chambers before heading to the governor’s desk.
