Georgia 's election board passed a controversial rule requiring counties to hand count their ballots by hand.

The move has caused alarm in the closely watched swing state of Georgia .

Officials from both sides of the political aisle say the count is not only superfluous, but also a potential tool to sow doubt.

The Democratic National Committee and Democratic Party of Georgia sued to block the rule last week with the Harris campaign's backing.
