"The SEB rule... requires poll managers and two additional workers at each precinct in the state to count ballots by hand on election night after they've been run through a voting machine... If there is an inconsistency between the hand count and the machine count, they must determine why the vote was wrong and correct it... However, the rule change could allow for election results to be delayed into the next day, and possibly for weeks, resulting in missed deadlines to have the voting outcomes submitted to the state's totals."
"Ironically, the process also makes election fraud easier to carry out. An overzealous local election official, for example, hoping to help a political candidate 'win' a race in the state... could abuse the new rule under false claims of trying to root out election fraud."
