Judge in Georgia blocks rule requiring ballots be hand counted

If I were a betting man, I would bet large amounts of money that they plan on cheating in Georgia.
A judge in Georgia just blocked a rule requiring ballots to be hand-counted as he says it would sow chaos and uncertainty in our elections to hand count the ballots... Wouldn't that provide confidence in the results? Why are they working so hard to resist election integrity laws, if not to provide an opening for thievery?
