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

In his ruling, Judge McBurney said the "11th-and-one-half-hour implementation of the hand count rule" would diminish public confidence in the outcome.

"This election season is fraught; memories of January 6 [US Capitol attack] have not faded away, regardless of one's view of that date's fame or infamy. Anything that adds uncertainty and disorder to the electoral process disserves the public," he wrote.
