Judge Robert McBurney blocks Georgia order for ballots to be counted by hand.

Hand count mandate was passed by pro-Trump majority on Georgia election board last month .

He ruled poll workers would not have received adequate training to handle millions of ballots.

Critics said the rule would have allowed election board members to delay or deny the state's certification of the results.
