Bulloch County elections official reacts to hand count rule

BULLOCH COUNTY, Ga. (WTOC) - We’re hearing from election leaders in our area about a proposal for the first time tonight.

Bulloch county’s elections supervisor tells us if the hand count proposal goes through, it will be a long night for all of her workers.

With the presidential election on the ballot, she’s also expecting a higher volume of turnout, pointing out that delays could happen even before this proposed hand count would begin.

“If poll workers at the end of the night are going to be required to hand count every piece of paper that went into their scanner that’s definitely going to delay voting results and then that’s going to be a county wide thing,” said Bulloch County Elections Supervisor, Shontay Jones.
